What Causes Bitter Taste Around Mouth While Taking Ibuprofen And Progesterone?
Twice in the last 2 weeks I have had a very bitter taste on my lips and around my mouth and other skin areas. This first time it went away after 24 hours. It has returned and I tasted the skin on my arm and tasted the same bitter taste. I have not been around any strong chemicals or take any meds besides ibuprofen once in a while and I wear an estrogen patch and take a progesterone pill once daily.
