Chin strap recommendations

Hi All
I can't keep my mouth shut....
I need recommendations for a good chin strap.
The problem I'm having with my current one I have is it's causing painfull acne in my scalp mostly around the back of my head.
I keep it regularly clean.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Nose sores making cpap impossible

I started with the full nose an mouth mask which caused me to break out with acne around where the mask seats. I tried the nose pillows and woke up with a bloody nose because the air was too dry. I turned up the humidity and I wake up to the smell of burning plastic, ...

Re: My experience with mouth taping and related solutions, and further advice

... I will also take note of using a longer horizontal strip to cover the cheeks - my concern there is that I use some cream on the cheek for acne, and they will likely interfere with the tape I wouldn't put any product at all on skin areas where you want to put the tape and I'd even include ...

Silicone alternatives? and mask woes

Hi to all, Are there any alternatives to CPAP mask parts that touch the nose, areas around the nose, etc? I am getting skin irritations and acne pimples -- all that fun stuff. I am wearing a "hybrid" full mask, meaning that the nose piece goes under my nose -- but some of it goes on either side ...

Re: New-ish User, Terrible Results Taking a Nap

... day after I'm practically swimming in my nasal mask. Which means if the nasal mask ends up working for me better than the nose pillows, I may have acne issues to worry about now. The marks under my nose are also from the mask and that is just plain uncomfortbale. Again I just cannot figure out ...

I'll be done with accutane within 2 months - so for now I'm just toughening it out since I've suffered from acne my whole life and my self esteem is already improving.

A bit confused about what to do

... doctor was right and that my apnea's too mild to respond to treatment. Also, I gotta say, wearing the mask every night hasn't been great for the acne I get around my nose so it would be nice if I didn't have to keep using it, purely on a vanity level. What do you guys think? I know I've read ...
