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 ...

96. It would be too much just to REPORT what the doctors say might be causing the problem without ripping Amy to shreds as she doesn't have enough problems.

The biggest wrecks here are the TMZ staff!

97. It is outright cruel to post her face in this condition and may the "funny faces" behind it's posting end up with karma. This is a condition not to be taken lightly and I, personally, feel great compassion for her.

105. Someone needs to take a pressure washer to her face and hide all her make-up. When that's done, put her in a white long sleeved jacket and let her detox for a month. What a hot mess!
