Something has made my chin feel burnt. Like if a guy gave me a whisker burn on my chin. Just my chin is red and inflamed and it burns. I have put nothing on it because I don't want to irritate it more. Nothing on my lips or inside my mouth. Isn't this a weird place for an allergy to appear?

I did 2 new things.

I started a glucosamine, chondroitin and msm supplement - and

I made scallops the other day for lunch.

Do you think this is it or should I keep thinking???

Depending on your source for the scallops, it could be that they had something to do with this - but it's really weird for it to only affect your chin if it's an allergy to something you ingested, even if you consider the glucosamine, chondroitin and msm.

I would encourage you to continue to think on it, and then if it doesn't ease up, I would stop the new supplement and see if it goes away. Then restart the supplement and see if it returns.

Whatever it is, I hope it's short lived!

I don't think it's an allergy to glucosamine. Seafood has a unique assemblage of beneficial nutrients and harmful contaminants.

Most glucosamine is made from shrimp and crab shells.

I talked to my Mom and she said (she is the smartest woman in the world, after all, and I have always suspected her of being a certified but unlicensed doctor, LOL) that any one can get an allergy to anything at anytime in their life.

My sister is allergic to iodine and so she stays away from shellfish.

Could be just a glitch in our genetics. I don't know.

Kinda like I was a little allergic to grass. My daughter was a little more allergic to grass. Her sons are super allergic to grass. Who knows why this happens?
