Video & Photos: This 15 y.o girl sweats & cries blood

Twinkle is a 15-year-old girl from the northern Indian city of Lucknow. She suffers from a frightening and as yet undiagnosed condition: for nearly two years, she has cried tears of blood.

A teenage girl who cries and sweats blood has been dismissed by medics as suffering from a mental illness for five years.

Finally, one doctor has vowed to cure her incredible condition.

Preeti Gupta, 15, from Delhi, India, has suffered from the bizarre illness since she was violently sick one day in November 2009 and her eyes and skin began to ooze blood.

Her parents took her to hospital, assuming it was an infection and confident it would be cured.

Now, five years later, they have pinned their hopes on a top doctor in Delhi. 

'Many doctors think that my daughter is mad but we have seen her suffer,' said Manoj Gupta, 35.

'We're desperate for her to live a normal life. We have no idea what is wrong with her and we just want a doctor to cure her.'
