I'm noticing salt on my skin everywhere and small bumps in my skin, should i be concerned about cf, i'm 23?

Salty taste: If there is a salty taste to your skin, it may be one sign of CF. A Sweat test may be indicated. It is more likely that sweat evaporated on your skin and that the bumps are a heat rash.
