terrible skin reactions

Post by xhiker1416 » Mon Jan 21, 2019 6:33 pm

I had a cpap about 15 years ago and just could not tolerate the masks. My Dr. asked me recently to try one again. After a month, I continue to suffer with very painful skin problems, whether I wear full face or nasal masks. What can I do? I'm ready to give up.

If your painful skin problems are related to acne, red rashes and such this is what I do. Wash face and mask every morning and then before bedtime.

Are you able to use a nasal pillows mask? Less surface contact. Agree about using a mask liner.
