Amy Winehouse battles skin disease
Does the controversial in-the-news troubled British singer Amy Winehouse strike you as someone who cares about what people think of her? Well, she's not.Winehouse, 24, is not hiding away then as she deals with her diagnosis of impetigo, a bacterial skin infection that causes pimple-like lumps. Her bumps, which are highly contagious and capable of spreading to other parts of the body and other people, are on her face. She's doing fine, though, says a pal to PEOPLE magazine. Winehouse is currently taking prescribed antibiotics for her condition.
