Hi Namrouch, What method have you already used to remove the black marks?– AndrewHJun 30, 2015 at 14:57

Healing tools, blur methods... there are a lot of ways.– ScottJun 30, 2015 at 14:57

Well i used the patch as well as the Spot Healing Brush, but it's kinda useless to reuse them now, they just deepen the problem. Maybe I used them wrong ?– NamrouchJun 30, 2015 at 15:29

2Have you tried going back to the original and retrying the removal process? You may need to try different methods of removing the dark stars. That will likely be easier than trying to fix the already botched copy. If you can, and like to pursue this path, I will provide recommended steps in an answer.– user45605Jul 1, 2015 at 23:33

Here are some techniques that could help: http://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/3-techniques-for-retouching-skin--cms-22293
I would recommend creating a duplicate of the background, using a heavy Gaussian blur on that layer, creating a layer mask to brush out the areas you don't need, and then lowering the opacity of that layer until the skin smoothes out.
Practice
You are using the correct tools, you merely need to get more proficient with them. Slow down, take more care when using them, and learn to tweak settings to your needs.
There's rarely a "one button" solution. Everything requires practice.
