Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with impetigo, a bacterial skin infection, her spokesman confirmed to People.
The British singer was prescribed antibiotics to treat the condition.
According to the Mayo Clinic Web site, “Impetigo starts as a red sore that quickly ruptures, oozes for a few days and then forms a yellowish-brown crust that looks like honey or brown sugar. The disease is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people.”
