Winehouse admits she 'needs to check into rehab again'

London, Mar 26 : English singer songwriter Amy Winehouse is willing to go back to rehab.

The 24-year-old 'Rehab' singer recently shocked onlookers when she stepped out with scabby skin for a night out to dine on kebabs.

"Amy has admitted she needs to check into rehab again," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

"There are too many temptations for her in the UK - people around her in London are making it impossible for her to stay clean for any length of time," the source said.

"Her management had considered flying her to a clinic in Israel but are now looking further afield. They are assessing a clinic in Cape Town in South Africa," the source added.

Amy had earlier spent two weeks in rehab in January 08.

She was seen earlier in the day visiting her husband Blake Fielder-Civil in jail, and later visited at her flat in Camden by grubby-looking junkie rocker Pete Doherty, 29.

Winehouse says her skin condition is impetigo, which is a bacterial infection.

"The damage is quite severe, but not unusual with crack cocaine abuse," Sun doctor Carol Cooper said.

"She's got a number of sores, some of which look infected, and others that have formed ulcers," she added.
