disfigurements
Scars and blemishes
Disfigurements are marks, injuries, or alterations that spoil the appearance of something.
The word typically applies to permanent damage—scars, burns, or deformities that mar a person's face or body: The accident left him with disfigurements he would carry for life.
It extends to anything whose appearance has been marred: Urban disfigurements like graffiti and broken windows.
