If you post the image, you may get some help with it

As it happens I saw a suggestion on flare posted today. It worked great for me too (at least on part of the image). I also had some flare in the sky that was better addressed with the patch tool. But this really did the job with the flare over foliage:

Have you tried a larger smaller f-stop f16-f22.
Often will reduce the overall flare and give you more of a star effect...not sure that is what you are after.
If you do get some washed out looking flare increase your overall exposure and then increase your black point...will often even it out.
