Shocking pictures have emerged of Amy Winehouse's scab-encrusted face, sparking speculation that the singer may be struggling to stay clean after her stint in rehab.
A heavy layer of make-up failed to conceal coin-sized blemishes on her forehead and cheek as she emerged from her north London home.
But the 24-year-old's spokesperson insisted the skin condition was a contagious infection named impetigo, according to the Daily Mail.
"Because of that she's been put on antibiotics and may have to stay home alone for the next few days," the spokesperson was quoted as saying.
Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection generally caused by eczema, poison ivy, insect bites or a skin allergy.
Although the rash can usually be treated with antibiotics, the treatment has so far not proved successful for Winehouse, who broke out in spots two weeks ago.
However, she has apparently not been allowing her face any healing time, having been spotted several times out on the town with Kelly Osbourne and Mark Ronson.
Winehouse has been the subject of intense tabloid attention in recent months. She has been arrested and fined for possession of marijuana, and was caught on film smoking what appeared to be crack cocaine.
There has been widespread speculation about the singer's deteriorating health since her first stint in rehab last September.
But that didn't stop Winehouse winning five Grammys at last month's ceremony in the US.
In an interview last year, Winehouse confessed that insecurity about her appearance compelled her to drink.
"I'm very insecure about the way I look — I mean, I'm a musician, I'm not a model," she said.
"The more insecure I felt, the more I'd drink," she said.
