Hi, I've gotten good results (sometimes) by making a selection of the hot areas, feathering the selection as appropriate, and using the healing brush @ 100% and then fading it an appropriate amount. Katrin Eismann in her book, Photoshop Retouching and Restoring (http://www.digitalretouch.org/) has some other suggestions as well. I highly recommend the book, and Katrin often shows up on the Photoshop forum to help out and answer questions. This is the best Photoshop book I've purchased for my needs and work style.
Martin Evening's book, Photoshop for Photographers is also a very good choice, and his book for v 7.0 can often be found on eBay for a good price. I bought a copy from someone on the PS list for $10.00, including the tutorial CD which included QT movies. Martin sometimes shows up on the Photoshop list as well. As for your specific problem, I doubt it can be easily fixed very well, but in all honesty, I didn't fiddle with the pic or try any adjustments - just gave it a quick eyeball.
