What's Eating Amy?

Is Amy Winehouse really suffering from impetigo? We talked to several board-certified dermatologists for the lowdown.

One doctor said Winehouse might be suffering from MRSA, a dangerous staph bacteria that's resistant to antibiotics.

Another doctor said the problem in figuring it out from the picture is that Amy has so much makeup on, it's hard to see the exact nature of the skin condition.

And still another doc said he didn't think the condition is caused from drug use (not that Amy uses drugs), because the lesions were not oval-shaped, which is a marker. But the plot thickens ... yet another doc said if she picked at the sores, that could change their shape. Dinner, anyone?

BTW, one of the docs -- famed Bev Hills skin doc Arnie Klein -- said, "Amy Winehouse should not be coming into close contact with other people while she has open sores." You'd have to be crazy to do that. Then again, Amy's friends are ...

151. Two quotes come to mind.

"I'm melting, MELTING, oh what a world!"

and an altered quote from her song

"Would any one kiss me? They said NO, NO, NO."

154.
A new heartless and cold generation has emerged. Based on the comments I read, - there is no soul on these pages.

Whatever it is, severe stress induced picking, skin condition, drug related, doesn't matter.

Her talent is that once in a generation stuff. Unfortunately she has huge problem, borne of pain.

You don't kick someone who's hurting so badly. You don't add to their pain.

You wish them luck. That's assuming you have a heart.

157. Girrrrl, I'm done caring for people who act like they have the right to do anything. I don't care what she looks like, I don't care wether she's talented or not. This goes to everyone: Kids relate. They pick up stuff. They copy. I don't know of a more selfish lifestyle than caring for your own habits and let your example influnce others, even in deadly ways.

I wish everybody with a habit could kick it, but hell nah will I let a talented musician affect my morals. I'd corrupt myself by supporting her financially. Rather give that 11.99£ to an organisation that helps people get rid of drugs and spreads awareness.


Y'all take care now.

159. I read on Daily Mail recently that a 'friend' of hers says when Amy was messed up she put out a ciggarette on her face in a restaurant after she was told a few times by her waitress they did not allow smoking. Yech!

160. Why even bother trying with all the makeup etc when your face is that jacked up? Believe me Amy, it's not helping!

162. Meth face anyone????? What a tragic shame that someone that obviously has talent can't seem to get her life in order. Lousy choice of companions, recreation, lifestyle, etc., etc., etc. She will probably be dead soon. I am sure her parents are at their wits end. Amy, get your self to a real, lockdown rehab and try to get cleaned up before they are digging a hole for you.
