Check the texture maps for any mottle patterns, they may have been baked in.  In a scene like this, SSS will not play a significant factor, your figure is too far away to make a difference.  You will see the glowing effect only by ramping the scale on the node.  This might be an SSS artifact but it is hard to tell without seeing the texture first.

Is this a Firefly or Superfly render?  I am assuming Firefly because you mention indirect lighting.
