Being "pox-marked" is referring to the pockmarks that are left by a variety of skin conditions and/or diseases that can leave several very small "pockets" or blemishes on a person's skin. "Pox-marked" refers more specifically to one who has had these small pockets left behind on their skin due to having contracted smallpox, which was a common skin affliction in the Shakespearean era.
