Did you have opacity and flow set at 100%, and blending mode normal?

As it should. Using the spot healing tool, and sometimes the clone tool 
has the potential to smooth a texture or grain which might be treated 
as a blemish.

It shouldn't.

That should just appear as a texture which should be subject to CS6 
manipulation.

I would give the patch tool a try. Just remember, that with the patch 
tool you select the area to be patched and then drag the selection to 
the source.

I can't speak for the original. It is a shot of my *step-daughter from 
Hell* taken by a photographer unknown to me with an unknown 35mm. 
Probably some 15+ years ago.
She inflicted the crease & tear damage with her storage method (dumped 
in a shoe box mixed in with other shots & stirred). I think the banding 
and washed out color are a result of a poor wet lab print on 
questionable paper with some sun exposure at one time or another. She 
never had the negative/transparency.
Naturally I was tasked with fixing it.
