Just finished reading this.

What are other books that feature horrifyingly disfigured characters?

God I fucking love that book.
Well, it's not the main character or anything, and I can't really say it, or I'd give away the ending, but Check out Bangkok 8- but, to be fair, it's not a HUGE part of the story, but it's really fucking satisfying.

Thousand Cranes

Trumbo's Johnny got his Gun comes to mind.

Kafka's Metamorphosis of course.
Blood Meridian had a part where a guy was dying from Consumption and he became quite disfigured. Any apocalyptic book should feature a disfigured character. The plays The Elephant Man (I forget the author's name but if you don't know who The Elephant man is for some reason, the play doesn't describe what he looks like, go look up an image on the internet), The Green Stocking by Kobo Abe are two I've read that come to mind.

The man who turned into a stick by Kobo Abe, Endgame by Samuel Beckett and maybe Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco (because why not) I've never read them but should probably be mentioned.

Me either, which is rare

Terrible book

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.

Phantom by Susan Kay is a very good retelling of the original story that goes into the Phantom's childhood and early life before he moved into the opera house, and then reworks the original book from his point of view. It deals more with the Phantom's disfigurement and how it affects him than the original does.

Johnny got his guns has some great parts. Not to give much away but you never think of how important your outward senses are and what the world would be to you if they were all taken. The trouble of knowing if something is true or a dream. Really some scary parts in that book in my opinion.

It's genre trash but that Thomas Covenant shit iirc. Dude is a leper. Then again I didn't read too much and can't recommend it, but if you're into that fetish then there you go.
