blotchiness

Patchy skin appearance

Blotchiness is the quality of having irregular patches or spots, typically of different colors or textures.

The term most often describes skin with uneven coloring—redness, discoloration, or irritation that appears in patches rather than uniformly: The blotchiness on her cheeks faded after she switched moisturizers.

It can also describe patchy printing, painting, or any surface with inconsistent coverage.
