Definition

1. Adjective:
   • Thinly and superficially pock-marked: Describes skin, typically on the face, that is marked by numerous small, shallow, and sparsely distributed pockmarks or scars, often as a result of a past skin condition like mild smallpox or severe acne.

Advanced Usage

• This term is almost exclusively used to describe the condition of facial skin. It implies the marks are not deeply pitted or densely clustered, but rather widespread, shallow, and noticeable.
• It often carries a neutral to slightly negative connotation regarding appearance, but is a descriptive clinical term rather than a harsh insult.
