I've run into those light spots quite often when working with restoration of damaged or old photographs.  I've tried curves, hue/sat - everything.  The best, easiest way is to clone stamp and/or healing brush them out.  I usually try to clone them out on a blank layer with the "sample" set to "current and below".  That way if it doesn't work out or doesn't look how you want you can either manipulate the clone stamp layer or delete it and start over.  Nothing is more frustrating than having to get rid of other corrections you've made just because a clone stamp doesn't turn out!!
