acned
Covered in blemishes
Acned describes skin marked by acne—the inflammatory condition that produces pimples, blackheads, and blemishes.
The word typically modifies face or skin: his acned teenage face, her acned complexion.
It functions like pimpled or blemished but specifically invokes acne rather than individual spots.
