Scalps Showing on Dark Skin

Sevrin

So I've run into this problem with  a scalp base showing  before and was able to fix it by doing something like expanding the hair, etc, but now I've found something I can't fix that way.  I tried scaling up the scalp a bit , tried scaling it down, no improvement.  I'm wondering if this is a thing with dark skin?  I even tried reducing the scalp opacity to zero, but that didn't do anything, either.

Character is CB Ekua.  I'm having the problem with a few short hairs with scals.  First with Short Classy Hair, and then I tried here with Rose Hair.  Lighting is Scene Only from two emissives.   

Here's the weird thing: I tried this on the same character in a new scene, with just the standard HDRI, and I couldn't reproduce the problem there, but I can't get rid of it here.

I will fix this in post for now, but I would like to know if this is an issue especially with dark skin, and how to resolve it.  I did lighten the skin some, and  I don't know if that may be the issue.

Thanks

When that doesn't work, you can make the scalp disappear by going into the geometry editor, selecting the scalp polygons, and hiding them. That'll give you something to work with in post at least.

Doh!  Of course!  That should work.  I was too focussed on getting it to work the way it's supposed to.

Thank you!
