Amy Winehouse's Face - Is it Impetigo or Not?

From Heather Brannon, MD, About.com GuideMarch 7, 2008

The swelling on Amy Winehouse's left cheek has been all over the news lately. First Amy's spokesman said the troubled pop-star had been diagnosed with impetigo, a bacterial infection on the surface of the skin.

Recently, more of the story has been uncovered. According to a source at a London restaurant, Amy was asked to put out her cigarette because of a smoking ban. This source states that Amy put out the cigarette on her own cheek.

It is likely that a cigarette burn would become infected and the star would develop impetigo.
