Doctors are struggling to explain why a young girl spontaneously bleeds through her pores without being cut or bruised, the Telegraph reported Tuesday.Twinkle Dwivedi, 13, loses blood through her skin without explanation.
The teen, from India, has had to undergo numerous blood transfusions after losing blood from her eyes, nose, hairline, neck and the soles of her feet, according to the report.
Dwivedi's blood is watery and light in color, and doctors say attempts to thicken it have failed.
Doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi believe the teen may have a type 2 platelet disorder in which the blood is low in clotting particles.
