Hematidrosis.
Hematidrosis is an extremely rare clinical entity characterized by recurrent episodes of skin bleeding mixed with sweat. We report a case of hematidrosis in a 10 year old girl where detailed laboratory and histopathological investigation revealed no abnormality. The girl was successfully treated with propranolol with no recurrence of bleeding over a follow-up of 3 months.
