An Indian teenager who has been crying blood since he was just 10-years-old has been nicknamed the 'stigmata boy'. A mysterious medical condition means that Akhilesh Raghuvanshi, now 13, bleeds from his ears, eyes, mouth, legs and his hairline up to ten times a day.
Akhilesh's painful condition, which sees blood pouring from his body even though he has not been cut or scratched, leaves him with extreme exhaustion and crippling migraines.
His parents initially thought the boy was suffering from dehydration when he began to bleed from his nose three years ago - but they soon realised it was something more serious.
Doctors are stumped as to why blood continues to pour from Akhilesh's body, although they think he may have an ultra-rare condition similar to haemolacria – where sufferers cry half blood tears.
Only a handful of people around the globe are believed to suffer from stigmata - a colloquial name given to afflictions that mimic those Jesus Christ is believed to have suffered during the Crucifixion.
