Oh, Pshaw!  Are you inventing a pony or something that 
Madam Edgecombe gave her for trying to be a tattletale?

Marietta's nose and cheeks were "horribly disfigured by a 
series of close-set purple pustules".  Close-set--the Muggle 
medical term is coalesced.  Purple pustules.  We're not talking 
about ordinary teenage zits here.  I'm tempted to insert a 
link, but I won't.  Just do an image search on "facial impetigo".

More than four months later she still had them.  So yes, I 
would say that without some kind of extraordinary magical 
intervention yet to occur, her face is disfigured for life.
