Nose breaking out

Post by Pilotfloatplane » Tue Mar 31, 2015 8:26 am

Hi everyone.
I have been using a Repritronics CPAP for 2 years now and it has changed my life.
I use the full mask ( not covering the eyes) and my nose breaks out consistently. I look like Karl Malden for crying out loud.
I clean the machine weekly and wonder if anyone else has had this problem and might have a solution.

I don't know why so many people complain about a problem with their mask, but, never say what mask they are using.

I had all sorts of skin, leak and comfort problems with three different FFMs that I've just started trying, when I started using these cloth liners everything got better, MUCH better. I have been using one liner for 3-4 nights in a row with great results, that works out to something like twenty-five cents a night, a real bargain IMO! They're available at several different online sources, I bought mine from cpap.com during their free shipping promo which ends today, although, I understand that the promos happen fairly often. Give em a try, I don't think that I'll try to wear a mask without them anymore. Good luck !!!
