Girl who bleeds without being cut baffles doctors

A girl who spontaneously bleeds from her pores is baffling doctors.

Twinkle Dwivedi, 13, has a strange disorder which means she loses blood through her skin without being cut or scratched.



She has even undergone transfusions after pints of it seeped through her eyes, nose, hairline, neck and the soles of her feet.

Sometimes her condition is so bad she wakes up with her entire body covered in dried blood.

Her frantic family have sought help from numerous doctors as well as preachers from many different religions without success.
