It has been reported that Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with Impetigo which is a very contagious skin condition which has apparently caused her face to swell.
A spokesperson for Amy released this statement:
“Amy has been diagnosed with impetigo which she’s been told can be highly contagious. Because of that she’s been put on antibiotics and may have to stay home alone for the next few days.”
What is Impetigo?
Impetigo is usually a yellow, crusty rash on the outside of the skin. It appears around the nose and lips and mostly found in children. It seems like medical experts agree Amy’s “swelling condition” is not the result of impetigo. Most likely explanation is a direct blow, either accidental or deliberate. A skin complaint wouldn’t cause swelling.”
It has also been reported that her record label is placing her back in rehab today.
Her label knows how important she is after her album, ‘Back to Black,’ went to No. 1 yesterday on the UK album charts despite her personal mishaps.
