Re: swollen nose
My suggestion: For now, don't use the new mask. Give your nose a chance to recover. When you go back to the mask and try again, make minor adjustments to the headgear (loosen it a bit) and/or use moleskin on the mask where it's irritating your skin. Good luck.lok wrote:Swollen nose?

Re: swollen nose
soak new mask and headgear in warm water with mild detergent then rinse, wear mask higher up on face, adjust angle of part that presses against forehead if you can
