How do I get rid of a shadow on a person's neck?

Talking-head video, in front of greenscreen. There's a dark shadow on the person's neck (really, the larnyx) that I need to get rid of. Person doesn't move too much, but talks for 20 minutes.

Gaussian blur (with track matte) didn't look good enough.

Other solutions? Is it possible to replace the shadow area with skin tone from another part of the face? If so, how?

you can probably do the track matte and then into curves ( hue vs. hue, hue vs. saturation, or hue vs. luminance ) and take the curse off it...it's not changing the color so much as changing the tone.

Sorry -- I'm not understanding what you mean. At all.

I'm no dummy ... just feeling like one.

Can you (or someone) walk me through slowly, step by step, exactly how to do this?

Lots of stuff on YouTube for this... one to get you started:

Basically, track the error that is objectional, and use the color correction applied to only inside the masked area to correct the color of the offending area to match more to what you want.
