Bom head issue (Catwa)

[Scourged]

I got a new mesh head from Catwa today, its BOM (that's probably obvious) my issue is: I put on my head and open the hud and turn on bom and I get brown blotchy spots (I've tried other skins and got skin on system head to show through not brown but still blotchy) where the system head is showing through. I do have an alpha and when I wear it looks normal, but I can't use the neck blender when I wear the alpha so i have a seam. My understanding is with Bom you shouldn't need alphas and I can not figure out what I am doing wrong. I've looked up trouble shooting and checked my hair base settings. Gone over what I am wearing with a fine tooth comb looking for anything that might be disrupting but....nothing is coming up. I do wear a slink redux body, which has taken the new skin beautifully (excpet for the neck seam). Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix? I am at a loss and admittedly not the most savy when it comes to things like this. Thank you in advance for reading, and any light you might be bale to shed on the subject. ❤️ I tried to figure out how to add a picture but it needs a url soo.....yeah, apparently  I'm kinda too dumb to do that right as well. Sigh

body may, or most likely will show / poke through the mesh. BOM only makes it possible for system "clothing" to be visible with mesh bodies; it doesn't make it so you don't need alphas. 

When BOM is being used, it hides the corresponding section of the LL body. If you wear a full head alpha layer with BOM, the mesh head should disappear as well (or appear solid red as a warning).

It sounds like BOM is not actually enabled.

Someone here may have advice on your neck seam issue. They should also correct me if I'm making a misstatement above.
