Why do my textures look like this when I export them?

Why do my textures look like this when I export them in Substance painter 1.7.3? This is a hand texture and that light part is the palm. What is that stretched out noise? This happens with every texture I export.

Hi! This repeated colour prevents seams showing with lower mip maps.
