Question: Hey, I’ve got quite a strange one, I seem to get a bitter taste on my lips. Not in my mouth just on my lips. It’s a very bitter taste and isn’t there all the time. It happens quite often. Just wondering if you could enlighten me on what this could be a sign of or if it’s relatively normal?

Brief Answer:
Possibly caused by any cosmetic products.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

There is not any medical condition which can cause bitter taste in lips only not in mouth.
The medical conditions cause bitter taste in mouth too
I think it can be related to any cosmetic products you are using on lips or face which may have be causing this bitter taste on lips only in some occasions. Also if you smoke it can be a cause of it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
