Dry chapped upper lip -Help-

Post by Jamers » Sun Apr 10, 2011 5:04 pm

Hi
How and why is my upper lip getting chapped and dried out. I have tried two different masks
and it dosen't matter they both dry out my top lip.
Anyone have any great ideas for me. Any help would be appreciated..
Thank You...

Hi Jamers.

Welcome to the forum . Before folks can help you, please go to your profile setting and indicate your mask type, cpap type, etc.
Just like you see mine. This will help folks help you better.

I asked a variation on this question back in January or February. Here's the link to my thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=59241&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Lots of good ideas were proposed.

Good luck and don't lick the lips.
