nasal pillow mask squishing nose

Post by joan118 » Wed May 30, 2007 2:40 pm

Hi, i am new here. I have had a mask for over 2yrs and recently switched tor a nasal pillow. not sure what brand, i can check on that tonite. My problem is it in order for the pillow to stay in my nostrils, i have to wear it pretty tightly. now I getting horizontal lines on the bridge of my nose that look I should get botox!! lol, I don't mind using the cpap, but i don't want wrinkles from it. I went from the face mask to the pillow because i was getting contact dermatisis from the plastic of my mask around my face and mouth. Any suggestions?? My nose is looks like i have been squinting all nite, and I use the size small nasal pillow. Thanks!
