Hi, I try to translate this sentence, but I can't understand what does Human Oxy Pad means? So cause of it I can't understand the first part of this sentence. Can you explain it to me?

The obvious way to characterize Dangin, as a human Oxy pad, is a reductive one—any art student with a Mac can wipe out a zit.

Hi Vishnya

An Oxy pad is something that people use in order to get rid of acne.

Dangin is here compared to an oxy pad because he retouches photography. In other words, he can hide or remove someone's acne (and probably also wrinkles, scars, and other "flaws" in someone's skin) in a digital photograph. One of the goals of retouching a photograph of a person's face would be to make it appear as though the person has a flawless complexion.
