RESMED F30 Mask Makes skin itch around air cushions?

Post by sdeters6990 » Wed Feb 26, 2020 7:47 pm

I have a f30 Resmed mask. Been really struggling lately, about after an hour of wearing the mask, my skin start itching and I try to itch it. Then it gets itchy all over the place, then the mask comes off. Is there a remedy or something that can be done to stop the itching? I have tried washing my face with rubbing alcohol and cleaning the mask with with different cleaners. Still itchy.

you might try lansinoh. it's a cream used by nursing mothers to help with teeth bites on the nipples.

it's in the infant care section of your grocery store

it's lanolin based and works really well.

Mask liner. You can order them, or you can make one from a thin old t-shirt. Cut a gasket just slightly larger than the part of the mask that touches your face then center your mask on it on your face.
