<unk>  most commonly presents as a rash that starts within the stretch marks. This rash may then move to other areas of the body, including, but not limited to the trunk of the body, arms, legs, feet, chest, and neck. Very few people experiencing<unk>  have reported the rash spreading to the face, palms of hands, or soles of feet. This rash usually begins with the skin looking abnormally red and feeling itchy, accompanied by notable swelling of skin tissue that appears raised and within the stretch marks. Over time, individual segments of this rash can join together to form one whole, larger rash with the same characteristics. As this happens, people report noticing the skin surrounding the rash to appear white in color (blanched) and in the shape of "halos". Multiple features of the disease can continue with time and have been reported as widespread erythema (a red skin rash due to damage of underlying capillaries) and patches of inflamed, itchy, rough, and cracked patches of skin that appear similarly to eczema. Other features have been reported in some cases of those experiencing<unk> , such as tiny vesicles, however these are not as common and develop after more time. Certain reports have shown there is a positive correlation between<unk>  and excessive maternal weight gain along with increased newborn birth weight. Additionally, a study from Ghazeeri and al. showed that 89% of people who underwent conception through in vitro fertilization were Rh-positive. The timeline of onset for these symptoms has been reported with some variability. However, most people report experiencing symptoms during the third trimester (last few weeks of pregnancy) where 15% of the women who suffer from<unk>  reported that symptoms actually began immediately after delivery of the baby. As mentioned above, the<unk>  and<unk>  usually first appear on the abdomen (although not on the umbilicus/belly button) and often spread to the legs, chest, underarms, etc. However, lesions on or above the breasts are rare. That's why the face is usually spared and does not become affected. As a result of these<unk>  and<unk>  from<unk> , it causes the skin to be very itchy (pruritic) and immensely affects the patient’s sleep quality throughout the night.
