I have been a CPAP user for almost 3 years and lately have been struggling with itching around my nose. I use a hybrid ResMed F40 Mask and it seems to be working well. I believe that the itching could be caused by a combination of the contact of the mask, possibly ...

... And the second time around I used aloe gel on the shingles rash areas, and that really helped speed up healing even more. And decreased the itching and associated pain a lot. Now I've had the two-shot shingrix vaccine and really hope that I'm done with shingles :-). I'd had the old single ...

... not need to deal with distilled water. When I started using it with P-10 pillow, I get a severe allergic reaction (runny nose, super itchy nose, itching eyes, sneezing, coughing, congestion). When I switched back to my ResMed S-11 with humidifier, the problems resolved. I tried using the AirMini ...

... 8 solid hours. Feel great. But... I've got red skin everywhere it touched and dry peeling appearance. Not really an allergic reaction (like no itching, no little bumps like with eczema flares) but just looks like very dry skin and I assume it's my skin's reaction to the pressure of the mask ...

I purchased a Pad-A Cheek mask liner for my F-40 Airfit mask. It works wonders on reducing itching and providing good seal and it;s quiet. Anyone know how long these liners last? I hand wash it once a week but still looks like it’s in good condition after 6 months and ...

I have used mask liner in the past and it helps reduce noise, sometimes prevent leaks and reduce itching. I noticed that it sometimes alters the fit of the mask. I currently wear a hybrid mask F 40 by Resmed. Has anyone found that the fit seems tighter using the liner and ...

... Thanks, Mark I do like the idea of bleep but am very allergic to medical adhesives so that may be a no go for me unless I want horrible welts, itching and burning. Theort adhesive is made by 3 M company and it's the same adhesive that is made for ostomy bags to stick to the skin. So colostomy ...

NHS--what country are you in?
How recent is the redness?
Is there pain, itching, or roughness?
Does the red area has any contact with the mask?

If it still does not respond, then you should pester the docs more.

... The second night I was able to tolerate it better after creating a cover for the headgear out of fabric I had at home. That helped with the itching and longer lasting effects. I am now to the point where I am able to fall asleep with it on if I am completely exhausted or take anxiety/ sleep ...

... My AHI has gone way up to around 20 in this 'basic CPAP mode', but that's to be expected. Biggest problem I'm running into now is that my nose is itching like crazy in the middle of the night - this is a new phenomenon!
