Amy Winehouse is saying no, no, no to rehab — despite a report in a British paper today.

“Amy’s doing well. She is not going back to rehab at this time,” the Grammy-winner’s rep tells Usmagazine.com.

The Sun, citing sources, reported that Winehouse’s “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.”

Rumors surfaced after Winehouse, who spent two weeks in treatment this past January, appeared in photos with her face covered in scabs. The Sun attributed her condition to drug use.

“The problem is that her face looks bad because of impetigo — it’s not a nice thing, but it’s not related to drugs,” her rep tells Us. “It’s a bacterial infection.”

For now, the 24-year-old is “having time off, recording a bit at her home studios, about to go back into the studio properly and working towards her husband’s freedom,” her rep says.

Blake Fielder-Civil, whom she married in Miami last May, has been in jail since Nov. 8 on assault and conspiracy charges.
