It's like Steve Martin's old joke about how to become a millionaire.
"First, get a million dollars."
Or, in this case, first become a super-powered mutant (with, presumably,
some sort of fire-protection aura).

Like the "fire-protection" that fire eaters and magicians have? For a
fire of that short of duration, the moisture on your hands would be
enough protection. No super-powers needed.
I'm not suggesting that anyone play with fire, but a person CAN pour
lighter fluid in the palm of your hand, light it, and not burn
yourself, if you put out the fire before all the lighter fluid is
consumed. (But do NOT try this at home, or are under-age or stupid)

nail polish remover is the best substance for the trick because it
does not stick to the skin as well as hair spray or lighter fluid. it
burns quicker than any substance too.

Ah. Our friend acetone.

Of course, we don't know how hot she can make that flame.

Pyrokinesis would be one of the more powerful physical powers.

Assuming, as lurkinghorror pointed out, she can get it up to Johnny Storm

Absolutely not. Even if your power was strictly limited to making small
flames in your palm or fingertips, you'd NEVER have to buy a drink in a
bar--and that in itself would be more useful than many of the other powers.
If you could throw flame, that would be much more useful... and if you could
cause flame to occur at a distance and/or on the other side of a barrier,
you could name your price. Imagine the military applications alone. And if
you didn't mind the moral issues, you'd make an uncatchable assassin.
