Is there a way to avoid the frining or is it inevitable? What i wanted to do was to draw inside a circle using the blob brush tool. So i made the circle, selected it, then  selected draw inside. I ended up with the fringing. So i tried to use the shape builder tool to trim away excess, but I still got it. Any ideas, please? Thank you for reading!

Actually, pathfinding divide then delete unwanted segments seemed to do the trick! Although I reckon its easier to use clipping mask/shape builder if it were to work.

When drawing inside you create a clipping mask. It's filles with blue and what you see are antialiasing artifacts, because the blue still goes to the edge of the circle.
