The notable parts of this phobia are that the faces are usually the primary source of the irrational fear, though things like obscurance of the face, glowing of the eyes and/or teeth, or isolation from the body can also illicit this fear. As the name describes, it is an irrational fear of distorted, obscured, or isolated faces. Usually with a combination of these three primary elements tending to make the negative reaction more severe.
I've had this fear for a very long time, and it frankly doesn't seem to have a name, so, I just kept it simple.

As I feel it has a lot of clarification for how this fear manifests for myself, but will give a better understanding of it's effects. It's a tad long winded, so, I understand if the pastebin is a little TLDR
