You can use the clone tool to soften the face.

There are many ways in which this can be done. The best depends upon many variables. In all likelyhood the best bet will be the Clone Stamp Tool (S). While holding the option key click on an area you'd like to sample from. Release the option button and move your cursor over the spot / pimple. It will cover the blemish.

Once you get the idea of how this works you'll want to experiement with the diameter and hardness of the brush. These variables will adjust the size of area cloned and the rate at which the cloning falls off.

There are othet adjustments but you best start here.

Even better use the healing brush (the one with the band aid icon), it works like the clone brush only it automagically blends your changes with the surrounding area.

Alternatively try playing with the 'Dust and Scratches' filter until the pimple disappears, then Edit > Fade 'Dust and scratches' to 0% then use the history brush to cover the pimple. Make sure to increase the threshold in 'Dust and Scratches' so that it doesn't kill any grain in your image, this will help the corrections blend into the rest of the image. This is a very effective method of removing blemishes from photos, especially and dirt and 'pubes' in freshly scanned images.

Again, I'm sticking with the position that it's a by case decision. The rubber stamp might work in one instance while the healing brush is best in another.

The OP should consider posting the image so people can suggest how they would approach the correction.
