Itching with mask

Post by erbelady » Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:31 am

I have the Fisher Paskel full face mask. Lately I have been waking up several times a night to itch my face under my mask. I have cleaned the mask and it does not help the problem. Any ideas to help with this?

Do a search for mask liners.... there has been a lot of discussion about it on here of late.

soak mask airhose and headgear in warm (not hot) water with mild detergent, suck water into the airhose then gently wash and rinse
apply face cream before sleep

I use REMZZZhttp://www.remzzzs.com/. They are soft cotton mask liners. I've dropped my AHI from 6 to 1 this week. I'm going to try to make my own this weekend. - Kim
