New fabric infused F40 mask on the way?

Has anyone heard that Resmed will be introducing F40 fabric mask ? This could be a game changer for anyone sensitive to silicon. Does anyone have issues with the F40 causing itching to nose or mouth?

Re: Itching around nose issues

1. At bedtime, wash your face with a noncomedogenic soap - Cereve, Basis, Cetaphil - check for noncomedogenic on the label. 2. Make sure your nose hairs are properly trimmed.

Re: Brand new user, is this normal?

... 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 ...

Re: New Facemask - Red nose....In the NHS healthcare system

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?
You could treat it like a mild allergy--otc benadryl or cortisone ointment.
If it still does not respond, then you should pester the docs more.
