The simplest way is to use the clone tool set to about 20 percent opacity. That should give you enough control to match the surrounding area.
There are several ways you can remove sunspots, none of which are very simple. Perhaps the easiest way is to take as brush larger that the size of the sun spots, take a sample of the background close to the sunspot, and then carefully brush the new color on over the spot, being sure that it is larger than the actual spot. Usually this only takes one application for each spot. YOU MUST be sure that the first spot is totally removed before moving on to the next one. Be SURE to take a new color sample to use for each spot as the colors may be different in shade. Might be better to make a copy of your original and work on it just to be on the safe side.

Maybe it's better to avoid sunspots. One great way to do this is to always use a sunshade. Another way is to avoid shooting into the sun.
This is, undoubtedly, the best answer to a simple question that I have seen in a long time - - - Congratulations!

A good polarizer would help. I used to get sunspots alot too.
