A member asked:
Does cystic fibrosis always cause salty skin, and can it cause only certain parts of the body to taste salty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sweat in cystic fibrosis patients has more salt. If you have any concern your doctor can arrange for a sweat chloride test. Wish you good health!
