Hematohidrosis is a rare clinical condition in which an individual sweats blood from intact, unbroken skin. Psychogenic cause is found to be the most frequent among other causes such as vicarious menstruation and systemic disease. We report a case of a 9-year-old boy who had bloody sweat discharge from the face and pinna of the ears while going to school. Pharmacotherapy with oral propranolol and psychotherapy were followed by a complete remission.
