A 12-year-old girl, resident of a village near Dharwad district of Karnataka, came to us on July 8, 2007, with the history of bleeding from the intact skin over the forehead for the last 2-years. Around the sweat glands, there are multiple blood vessels in a net-like form, which constrict under the pressure of great stress. [...] we are reporting this case for the extreme rarity of the condition.
