Default Newborn portraits - skintone CS5 - tutorials?

I've got some shots I took today of a friends newborn and the skintone is just not looking right.

Some issues are that he's blotchy, and his eyelids are very red compared to the rest of his face.

My knowledge of CS5 is very limited and I am finding I'm out of my depth trying to get his skintone to look just right.

Can anyone point me in the right directions of some tutorials etc that might help? I've googled but came up with all sorts of odd things, not exactly what I was wanting to know.

Susan, how is it that you get such relevant things when you google? I seem to get everything BUT what I'm looking for!
