Self-inflicted damage (list of methods)

Can anyone list all the ways there are to inflict damage on oneself? You can list them all, or just some. Ideally, what I'm looking for would be damage over time that is able to be switched on/off at will (like an aura). Less ideal are items since it's hard and annoying to swap those out (and my weapon is already accounted for). Thanks!

I'm going to assume you only want sources that count as a hit. I know of 3: Scold's Bridle, Heartbound Loop, and Doedre's Elixer. SB and DE are pretty straight forward. HL is generally used with Skeletons and limiting their duration.
Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a hit or not. Mainly it's just so that I can keep my unique flask active (i need hp to recover to keep it active). Thanks!

What about Blood Rage gem? It will eat your life unless your life regeneration is stronger?

RF is also an option but requires more investment to handle.

There are also different uniq items that will hurt you such as Shimmeron

Thanks for the suggestions, rakiii! Blood rage looks like the best candidate so far. I have a question about it, though. It says: "1.2% of Attack Physical Damage Leeched as Life". I deal melee physical damage, but it is all converted to elemental. Would I get this life leech?

NO you shouldn´t get it if converted.
Okay, thanks, Rakiii!
Divergent Blood Rage let's you also leech some elemental damage.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.
Are you using Forbidden Taste for the implicit effect? I wouldn't have thought that required hp loss to activate. Blood of the Karui is the only other one I can think of, and barring an interaction like Hardened Scars I can't see why you would care to go that route. If that is the case, you could look into a hybrid flask with Enduring suffix.
