I know I asked for help on this before, and didn't get a straight answer. Plus I can't seem to find the original post about it so I decided to start a new one since I rarely post in the forums anyway. Okay I've realized that Sub Surface Scattering is irritating to use, for the most part this orange glowing whenever skin is too close or just glowing on skin in general is ruining a lot of my renders. I really need someone to help me figure out how to prevent this from happening. I checked the material room and I see nothing added to any nodes like the Ambient a lot of these nodes don't have anything connected in them. I tried turning off light emitter, and still I See this problem on my figures.

Then I would turn SSS off and render with it, the glow disappears and it's not there so clearly this is an issue with SSS. I tried reducing Shadow Bias, rendering without Indirect Lighting, still that glow keeps appearing. Sometimes it will appear in multiple places like under the arms, between fingers, thighs, underneath breast, etc. Other times it will appear just in one place like the arms, or breast area. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all, and sometimes it do depending on where I move the lights. It's like a random problem that happens automatically but then at times it don't occur at all. I never even bother to fool around in the material room because I hate dealing with all those damn nodes. The only time I tamper in the MR is when I am trying to apply gloss to skin for sweat or something but other than that, I don't mess with the MR.

I get similar issues sometimes with seeing a light faded green glow on skin too and I've never been able to figure out how to deal with the problem but would appreciate it someone could please help me on this matter, when I do commission art for people they come to me with large sets, like 30 or 40 renders and I always end up spending half of my time doing test renders because I cannot figure out if my life depended on it why the glow wont stop appearing. I already asked a few people who once posted questions about this issue if they got their problem resolved, but they never replied back to me. I will be real grateful for any help given me. Thank you.
