According to People magazine, singer Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with a skin disease called impetigo. It "is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sore is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people," People reports.

Winehouse has reportedly been prescribed drugs to treat the pimple-like lesions. "She's fine," a source told People. "She's not hiding away. She's never been one to care what people think."

Well, that's obvious.
