Amy Winehouse Has a "Painful Looking Swelling on the Side of Her Face"

Posted by Emily Farris

Uh, it's called "herpes," Amy. Actually, we like to call it "The Herp"— it seems less offensive that way, like a Furbee or something.


The star fueled speculation she may have suffered a blow to the cheek after she was photographed on Friday with a painful-looking swelling on the side of her face.

But Winehouse's official spokesman insists the singer has come down with a mystery illness and is seeking medical help.

He tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Amy has a skin infection which is why her face looks the way it does. At this stage she has no idea what it is but she's getting to a doctor to try and identify the problem. She's not in any pain but, obviously, she wants to get it sorted as soon as possible."


We can save you a trip to the doctor, Amy. Just head to your local Boots and pick up some Abreva.

Also, Facebook is here to help.
