What's Eating Amy?

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 ...

Sheese! I can see for myself she is unclean and has a poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle. Even bums should avoid her.

In this afternoon's post, the make up smear is stil there, but the lesion is mysteriously gone.
