Amy Winehouse has responded to rumours that she was involved in a fight last week, saying her bruised and swollen face is down to a mystery skin infection.
The singer was photographed on Friday with a painful-looking swelling on the side of her face, prompting speculation that she had been hit.
However her spokesman insists the singer has come down with a mystery illness and is seeking medical help.
He told 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."

Irish stars honoured at British Film Awards
John Carney, the writer/ director behind 'Once', and 'Atonement' cinematographer Seamus McGarvey were amongst the winners at the British Film Awards.
Carney took the prize for Most Promising Newcomer in the awards designed to honour the British film industry, despite the fact that he is Irish.
Armagh's Seamus McGarvey was one of three winners for 'Atonement', which also took prizes for costume design and production.
In the other categories Helena Bonham-Carter was named best actress for two performances - in 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street' and low-key drama 'Conversations With Other Women'.
Irish citizen Daniel Day-Lewis won best actor for his role as a Texan oil prospector in 'There Will Be Blood'. The performance has already earned him a Golden Globe and he is hotly tipped for Bafta and Oscar glory later this month.
Julie Christie, also a front-runner for Oscar success with 'Away From Her', received the Alexander Walker Special Award for outstanding contribution to film.
Joy Division biopic 'Control' was the surprise winner of the best film award, beating 'Atonement' and 'There Will Be Blood'. It also won best screenplay.
Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood received the best film score award for 'There Will Be Blood'.

Woody Allen fears for Scarlett Johansson
Veteran film director Woody Allen is fearful that Scarlett Johansson will ruin her promising acting career by indulging in the party lifestyle.
The director, who has worked with Johansson on a number of movies, has said she is one of the most talented stars of her generation and has advised her to follow Meryl Streep's example.
He told the New York Post's gossip column Page Six: "(Johansson) is so beautiful and so sexy and so gifted... she can do anything, but she has to make the right choices of films and she's got to not go the Page Six party route.
"I don't want to read about her in the paper with this boyfriend or that boyfriend, or in rehab or taking pills. I don't think she's always made great choices. She has to take her acting seriously... the way someone like Meryl Streep did it."
