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 ...

Yeah, a crack smokin' body!
Imma tweakin'! And Imma pickin'!
TWICKER!!!
Or maybe she's a witch and is a 'Twickin'?
that round circular mark on her face kind of looks like a burn from the end of a hot crack pipe.
Amy dear, put some gloves on and go scrub that body down! Throw all that nasty makeup away and let your skin breathe! Hire a stylist who knows what they are doing. ASAP!
She is attacking those spiders crawling on her face...can you say tweaking?
The tragic and tortured artist thing is sooooo tired......it's such a cliche.....
I read on another site that some organization was trying to bring her to US to perform at some awards show. Please give her a thorough VD and contagious disease check before approving her Visa. We already have enough diseased skanky celebrities in the states already before adding one more.
Yuck! My daughter had impetigo many years ago and it looked similar. But it cleared up very quickly as soon as she started taking antibiotics. My guess is that Amy has some kind of meth sores, or maybe she has Morgellan's syndrome? Or she just recently watched the movie, "Bug". http://pixblix.com
Reality check...
She'll be th 10 second tribute at the next Grammy's and everyone will just shake their heads and say "What a waste"
Then P Diddy or Eminem will come on and jam...and everyone will of already moved on and have a great time!
