This disorder mainly occurs in Caucasian women with emotional stress or one or more concomitant mental illnesses. A 17 years old female adolescent presented with recurrent episodes of blood-oozing from the skin of both lower eyelids along with bleeding from the skin of the nails of upper and lower limbs which ceased spontaneously after a few minutes without having any in duration or oedema at the sites. The female had no systematic abnormality but she had a tendency of seeking attention.
