What Causes Rubbing Alcohol Taste In Lips And Fingers?

I have noticed that in the past two weeks when I lick my lips or fingers I taste rubbing alcohol. I have not used rubbing alcohol in about 4 weeks and only used it for two days on my face but I cannot get rid of the flavor. Before that it has been years since I have touched any rubbing alcohol. Is this a sign of something I should be concerned about or did I just get too much of it in my system over the two applications to my face? History: I am 40, white female, no other medical issues. Very concerned.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear if you apply on any body part or surface it can evaporate with in minutes. So don't worry about it it won't obsorb into body until unless you consume orally. Consumption of this one is very dangerous. So just check weather you kept cap properly or not why because it evaporate and give smell like that. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
