I've noiced a few people in the First Aid section that are answering questions in ways that lead me to believe you've had combat medical training. Is this the case? How many of you are combat medics? Are you still? Did you further your education after the military?

The doctor gave me Silver Sulfadaine for the burns on the outside of my face but didnt tell me how to treat my lips. They are very hard and cracking any time I move them (ie to eat) The swelling has gone down but they are still very red/black under the hard casing. Can I use chapstick to keep them softer while healing or is this bad?
