“…Skin biopsy was performed in nine cases, which were normal or showed nonspecific changes . In one study, the biopsies from a 14‐year‐old girl in 2008 showed dermal‐located, blood‐filled spaces that opened on the skin surface or in follicular canals; however, the cause of the spaces remained unclear .…”

We started treatment with propranolol 1.8 mg/kg/day (20 mg × 3).…”

Haematohidrosis is a rare and dramatic condition in which bleeding occurs spontaneously from intact skin. We report the case of a nine-year-old boy with a typical clinical presentation. The case highlights how challenging it can be for medical professionals to recognise and evaluate rare conditions. A review of the literature was performed, showing that haematohidrosis is mainly a paediatric condition. Our case together with findings from the review indicates that treatment with Beta blockers may be effective for treatment of haematohidrosis in children. Conclusion: Paediatric haematohidrosis is a rare, but clinically distinct condition. Treatment with Beta blockers may be tested.

Hematohidrosis is a rare clinical condition in which an individual sweats blood. Even though there are several causes, such as systemic diseases, vicarious menstruation, extreme physical activity, psychogenic reasons, and idiopathic causes, acute fear and intensive mental pondering are the most frequent. Bloody perspiration, bloody tears (Hemoclaria), bleeding from the nose, bleeding from the ears (Otorrhoea), and leaking blood from various skin surfaces are all indications and symptoms of this condition. Here, we present a case of hematohidrosis in a 9y old female child with bleeding for two months from her forehead, nose, ear, and vagina, who responded to propranolol.
