Singer Amy Winehouse has been diagnosed with Impetigo, a highly contagious bacterial infection of the skin that causes an itchy rash. The illness was discovered in March of 2008, after Winehouse had sought medical attention for a painful lump on her face. The news of her condition came on the same day that her record company (Universal) is allegedly requesting that she return to rehab for her ongoing drug problems.
