When I send dwellers to the wasteland for long periods of time, they usually use their RadAways and Stimpaks.
This time, I sent out a dweller with the maximum 25 RadAways and Stimpaks, with a Fatman and Heavy Wasteland gear. I have noticed that she heals, and that her radiation lowers, but her RadAway and Stimpak counters to not decrease.
She still has all 25 after 13 hours. I have watched the bars go up and down. I can not tell if this is deliberate, or a bug, but the movements are supported by the log.
Is it possible for dwellers to heal, and for their radiation to lower, by themselves?

No, it's not possible for dwellers to heal by themselves in the wasteland. However, dwellers heal all damage when they level up in the wasteland.
You said it yourself, she is not level 50. There you go. And because she has 10 Endurance, she hardly takes any radiation damage.
I try to max dweller stats before I send them out to level, so I have a level 8 dweller with 25 stimpacks and high
+Egear and a big gun take about 2 days before they use the first stimpack. That's because with every level up their health and radiation will reset. In addition, if they have more than 10 Endurance, they will never take radiation damage (red bar).I didn't have an undammaged dweller right now, but I think it's obvious that this guy would not survive 4 days with only 6 stimpacks without having some additional healing going on. I believe he was level 8 when I sent him out.
