I Have A Problem With My Lips,it Always Tastes Salty. I Take Vitamin B Supplement. Is There Any Other Other Treatment For My Problem ?

I am 62 year of age and have noticed for sometime now that my lips always have a salty taste. I wear dentures that are about six months old. I have terrible hot flashes and I thought that my lips were salty from having these flashes. I take a perscriptions from my doctor and vitamin B supplement. My health has been stable for approximately 2 years except for my salty lips for the last couple of months.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
It seems that you might have some infection in any part in the body.
It may be due to dryness of lips due to taking less amount of liquids.
Go for Blood,urine check up.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and bye.
