nail holes
Tiny wall wounds
Nail holes are the small cavities left in a surface after nails have been removed or driven below the surface.
In woodworking and home repair, filling nail holes with putty or wood filler is standard practice before painting: I spent an hour filling nail holes in the trim.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for minor flaws that need touching up.
