Problems with seem (poly head) Help needed

Hi,
When stitching the ear only my poly head, I'm getting this ugly seem caused by the fact that they are border edges...(I think)..

When I do the merge verts or the combine, is there something I should be doing to avoid Maya making them border edges?

I can't delete the edges once merged (obviously), nor can i delete the faces and use the fill hole tool...tried a few things to no avail.

here's a pic.

Could be a number of things.

Make sure you don't have faces under the skin that you need to delete in order to merge.

Check your normals to make sure they are facing the same direction for both pieces.
