As a casual user of Photoshop 2020, I have hit my limit of knowledge & need some experienced advice. I have an image of a bear on which I have replaced the background (using Topaz Mask AI). I likely was not careful enough when I created the mask to delete the background. As a result, there are areas along the edges of the bear's legs that have a light blur between the hairs where the background was not carefully removed. I have unsuccessfully tried a couple of the retouching tools in PS to surgically clone out the blur between the hairs on the bear's legs. But I admit to being a PS novice. So, any help you might provide would be most appreciated. Thank you kindly.

I would try a Clone Stamp set to Darken, probably a low Opacity, run on the edge and see how that helps (try from the stones).
 
Paul: I used the Clone Stamp tool & experimented with various settings of opacity, flow & brushes. I finally got it dialed in to my liking. Not being adept with Photoshop, it was a bit tedious.

Thanks for the response.
