I recommend using the clone tool. The tool will basically "copy" a small section of your image, and you can "paste" it onto another section to create a realistic fix.
To use the tool, first locate it on your Paint Shop tool panel.

This image illustrates the clone tool on Photoshop; there should be some equivalent tool in Paint Shop Pro.
Then, choose a "fuzzy edged" brush. For an idea of how large to make the brush, let’s say make it the thickness of her lip — large enough to cover the equivalent of about a centimeter of her skin at a time.
Hold down the ALT key on your keyboard, and click on an area next to the drool area. You have just "sampled" the area. Then, let go of the ALT key and click on the area of the drool. It will "paste" on the section it "copied," leading it to appear as if school was initially there.
Note that if the ALT key does not "select" an area to copy from, you may need to try the clone tool. I’m not sure which Paint Shop Pro utilizes.
Also note that you should be using more of a "dabbing" stroke — just clicking once rather than dragging the brush as if you’re painting.
Continue to do this, selecting close-by areas and "pasting" them on until your image is complete.
Have you tried blimish remover or scratch tool?
Use the Clone Tool.
Use the "Help" section in PSP to search for "Clone Tool" for specific instructions on how to use it, if you’re not familiar with it.
