Amy Winehouse Skin Condition?

Question by frankfarter!: amy winehouse skin condition?
the contagious skin condition she contracted….. is this something crack-heads or heavy drug users contract easily or is this something anyone can easily get? i have never heard of that condition before??? it’s called impetigo
well, drug addicts are known to pick at their skin… could that have exacerbated that?

I saw a picture and it looked like her cheek was swollen or something. Girl, I have no idea, but I feel sorry for her. It sort of reminded me of a staph infection or something….more so than blisters and rashes, which is impetigo.

My guess is Amy Winehouse just has poor hygiene period. I know that sounds gross, but that’s usually when infection occurs is when someone isn’t taking very good care of themeslves, both through nutrition to boost their immune system, and through lack of washing and stuff. Drugs make people stop caring about taking care of themselves, and in Amy Winehouse’s case, I think this could have been a result of lack of personal care and hygiene.
(Gross, but true).
