I’m actually allergic to the cherry chapstick brand lip balm. It makes my lips red, swollen, and even more raw. But when I used chapstick I used the kind labeled lip moisturizer I switched to EOS when I found out that the alcohol in chapstick actually dries out your lips rather than fix it. I have struggled with what I call chronic chapped lips (thanks band class) and it never felt like my lips were healing with chapstick. It wasn’t until one of my coworkers that’s like knee deep in the beauty industry told me that she uses oils on her lips rather than chapstick because of the alcohol. That's really interesting, I will have to try that! Band? What instrument do you play? I played trombone back in middle school and high school

She's a CNA, so I'm not exactly sure how frightful that is. She does a fantastic job though, all the residents she takes care of adore her. it just concerns me that she, as a medical professional, will ignore when someone tells her that they're having unusual symptoms and dismiss it like that without looking into it further. the medical field is unfortunately rife with that attitude--assuming patients don't know what they're talking about/are stupid/overreacting. I have a few friends with parents in the medical field, and for some reason they all do this to their kids. It’s really strange.

Sometimes it's a matter of not wanting to work off the clock. Particularly people who work on their feet all day don't necessarily want to deal with putting extra effort into diagnosing their kid's problem when they know it's in all likelihood not a big deal. I say this as a person with a mother who is a nurse. I know when I can ask her medical advice and when I should just not bother her because she's stressed as hell.

But if ANYONE else has any issues, like her husband, her friends, her friends' kids, she has all the time in the world for them, but with me, she just brushes off whatever I say, but that might just be my sister lol

I read what you put on the vent thread, she sounds like a nightmare.

Do you peel the skin in your lips? I find that when I do this anything that touches my lips afterwards burns like hell. If you don’t, and since you do get a burning sensation when eating Asian food, you might be allergic. If that’s the more likely case, go get some sesame oil and see if that burns your mouth too. You can buy it by itself by the store, so it’s easy to check.
