"rash on her breasts, stomach and upper thighs.  ... The stretch marks on
her lower abdomen were a deep red, and were quite pronounced.  Her breasts
were an even red, all over.  NOT the nipple, areola, or I'd say a good 2
inches around the areola, but from that point outwards, both breasts were
red - not as dark as the stretch marks."

This sounds similar to my history.  I'm wondering if two different things
could be going on here.  I too had problems with Raynaud's.  But this rash
was one of my first presenting signs of LATEX allergy.  The contact with
the elastic in my underwear caused a horrible rash on my abdomen, thighs
and around my breasts (nursing bra with support - nowhere near the nipple) -
 the sites of elastic/skin contact.  My allergies were always worse during
pregnancy and postpartum.  This could also be some type of irritant/contact
dermatitis; I'd suggest extra rinsing of her underwear, no softener, etc.

Good luck, Marita Nickison, RN, IBCLC
