Disgusting outline on mask when attempting to change background elements

I have an easy subject to mask out against a background. I used select and mask, select subject on the cloud setting.
I thought it did a great job until I realised. As I used a very shallow lens, maybe 1.4 aperture, the arm of my subject is blurry compared to the face and right arm. When I make alterations to background colour and brightness it brings out this noticeable dirty line which blatantly reveals my mask.
I can't make changes to smoothness or feathering to one portion of the mask in the select and mask window. Using a brush to manually alter the mask is too painstaking and brute force. How can I correct my mask either by feathering or other means so that it's perfect and I can alter my background?
