Resmed airfit P30i nose pillow irritation

[milboltnut]

Any body have any idea how to make this pillow more comfortable? It's really irritating my septum. I put antibiotic cream on my nose and pillow..It works for most of the night. Guess I can reapply it in the middle of the night again.

I happened to have Lansinoh nipple cream for nursing mothers. Maybe someone has something else, knowing me, it won't be that much of an improvement.

Use a little Lanisoh. It stays on way better than antibio creams.

I hope so..... thank you

Use Lansinoh until your nose toughens up. About all you can do.
Maybe switch out masks to give it a break, then back to Lansinoh and time.
You will get there.

I was inquiring this morning where I got my initial equipment for a full face mask and nose mask . The gal told me I have to wait there months from the time I got my equipment from her to get a different set up.... The insurance company won't cover it. Hopefully the Lansinoh will get me by long enough. Didn't think about getting sick and needing a full mask, and dealing with congestion. The girl that gave me my machine basically set my minimum pressure, gave me a starter kit, had me sign the paper work, and said ok you're done. I really appreciate this forum..... you guys are a great help !

I have a company that's mail order... just got off the phone with a few minutes ago. Ordered a F20 mask kit for september, have to wait six months for that. But next month I get the N20 mask kit that you can use the P30's pillows on too.

When I started using the P10 my right nare on the septum side got very sore.
I started using the Lansinoh.
To help get me through the worst of the first, I cut a small piece of micropore tape and wrapped it over the septum as a shield.
It finally toughened up to the point I could go commando.

This apnea therapy sometimes makes us go the extra mile.
It is sooo worth it.

Keep grinding.
It will get better.

The thing between the holes is the septum.
The holes are the nares.

dude... you are a nut !!!

Guess you coulda just explained it... LMAO

I have thin first aid tape.. I'll put a piece on, that will prevent the irritation. Thanks !

[jimbud]

Yes,...yes I am.

Life is but a cruel joke.

I laugh.

[milboltnut]

really... I would have never thought of putting tape on the septum, that's where it's getting sore. Thank you ! Probably didn't have to order the N20 mask....by the time I get it.... I'll be use to the P30i.

[ronragus]

Sorry i just need to clarify.....so one piece of the micropore tape in between the 2 nostrils then? Wouldnt it be....painful to remove

I am not trolling, literally trying to figure out how to try it tonight....

[jimbud]

That is where the Lansinoh helps. Put a small amount on the sore area and leave just enough without for the micropore tape to adhere to. It is kind of an art.

The mask will tend to keep the tape in place.

Oh, trim the nose hairs.
