This may be a result of chemotherapy (assuming you are on chemo). Most chemotherapuetic toxins are aimed at destroying the fastest growing cells in your body, and at the top of that list are malignant cells. Unfortunately, taste buds are also fast growing cells, so it's quite possible that the chemo destroyed some of your taste buds. Once you complete your chemo course, however, the taste buds should regrow, and your ability to taste other flavors should return.

Why are your lips salty tasting and dry?

Salty-tasting and dry lips can result from dehydration, which causes the skin to lose moisture and can lead to a salty taste from the body's natural salt balance. Additionally, environmental factors like wind, sun exposure, or dry air can contribute to lip dryness. Certain habits, such as licking your lips, can also exacerbate the problem by removing natural oils. If persistent, it may be worth investigating underlying health issues or considering lip care products.
