--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I am new to the board, have been on cpap for three years, cannot seem to get pressure sores off the bridge of my nose, tried lining mask with moleskin, the sleep clinic suggested second skin, I do not think pressure sores are ever treated with moisture, and last night I tried a nasal insert mask from resmed. I only lasted three hours with it last night without it leaking. I have tired just the nasal mask with chin strap but I am a mouth breather and I was starting to backslide on my sleep pattern.

The new resmed quattro does not leak, but no matter what I use, bandaids, tissue, tegaderm, kleenex, sheepskin: I have that pressure on my face. If I line the mask with moleskin, it increases the leaking and the only way to clean it is dw40 which must break down the mask. ( I know that using dw40 cannot be healthy, I did wash it with clean soap and water after each use.) Moleskin is not the way to go. Of all the masks the clinic suggested the resmed product is the only one that fits my face the best. The mask should not be so tight it hurts your face. Am I correct?? The nasal insert mask does hurt my chin. I have spent nights waking up frequently from the leaks. I notice in the messages I have never heard of alot of the masks that people have. I will do some surfing about that.

Plus, has anyone had to deal with using 5fu cream for pre-basal cell lesions on your face. My dermatologist says I need to start using it on my face in the fall because of sun exposure in my youth. He says that cpap masks and 5fu is going to be really painful. I certainly cannot go 6 to 8 weeks without the cpap. He has used the liquid nitrogen on the troubled spots as much as he can and they keep returning. Any ideas on how to get around this other than placing tegaderm all over my face every night to cover the targer areas? Any suggestions will be welcome, and thanks in advance.
