Amy Winehouse Diagnosed With Skin Disease
What's up with those bumps on Amy Winehouse's face? The singer has been diagnosed with impetigo, her spokesman confirms to PEOPLE.
It's a bacterial skin infection that causes pimple-like lumps – and is "is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people," according to the Mayo Clinic's Web site.
And yes, Winehouse, 24, had been prescribed drugs ... in the form of antibiotics.
As for how the singer's feeling, "She's fine," a pal tells PEOPLE. "She's not hiding away. She's never been one to care what people think."

Considering her drug use, she's lucky that's all it is.

Ok, if it's highly contagious, why in the world is she out and about?

Re: Amy Winehouse Diagnosed With Skin Disease
Ewww...
One or more pimple-like lesions surrounded by reddened skin. Lesions fill with pus, then break down over 4–6 days and form a thick, honey-colored crust. Impetigo is often associated with insect bites, cuts, and other forms of trauma to the skin. Itching is common.
People who suffer from cold sores have shown higher chances of suffering from impetigo. Those who normally suffer from cold sores should consult a doctor if normal treatment has no effect.
Impetigo also causes flu-like symptoms which may cause tiredness, weakness of muscles, headaches and vomiting.

It's contagious by contact. You can also spread it to yourself in other area of your body.
It's REALLY hard to get rid of it.
My little sister had a little sore she kept touching. The ped said it was impetigo. It took a long time to clear. Even with treatment.
