Many meds: There are many medications that cause a metallic taste in the mouth. Clarithromycin, an antibiotic for example, often causes it.
It is caused by the relatively basic nature of it, on the acid-base scale. Adding acid will eliminate it. Take a teaspoon of lemon juice and it will clear it up.

See Your Dentist: Weird or altered taste in the mouth can be attributed to a number of different causes, the food we eat and drink, habits we may or may not have, issues with the tissues and/or supporting structures of the teeth as well as problems with the teeth. A visit with your dentist may be the best place to start.

Did you taste your skin or some one tasted it and told you?
Do you have any symptoms? Have you been told that you have body odor?

Dysgeusia: is a change in your sense of taste due to a variety of causes; from medication you may be taking to dental problems. In your case pregnancy-related (estrogen) changes in your sense of smell may also lead to dysgeusia. It is very common condition in pregnancy and will be solved soon. With Geographic tongue people may notice they have a“bitter” or “metallic” taste in their mouths. Good luck.
