Amy Winehouse has quashed rumors she was involved in a fight - putting her bruised and swollen face down to a mystery skin infection.

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."
