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.”
Amy’s friend said that she’s not in hiding because of this:
“She’s never been one to care what people think.”
I don’t think it’s a big deal though as long as she’s getting treated for it. A lot of kids get it in school.

Impetigo leaves big scars. Considering the natural level of bacteria on Amy Winehouse, this should be interesting *read EBOLA*.
