Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Hematohidrosis is a rare condition characterized by the excretion of blood through eccrine sweat glands without associated injury or trauma. Despite various theories, its exact cause remains unclear. Diagnosing this condition can be challenging, as it requires ruling out bleeding disorders, vasculitis, and related conditions. Here, we present a case of hematohidrosis in a 14-year-old male who experiences multiple daily episodes without identifiable causes. The patient has undergone various treatments but has not yet achieved remission.
