Sore under nose Swift Nano FX
Sore under nose Swift Nano FX
Hi everyone! New to this site/blog. I hope I can share info and gain info regarding CPAP. I have an issue with my current mask. I am using the Swift Nano FX. Love the mask. Best one to date. Problem I have is, I get a sore under my nose after a couple days of use. I will wake up with blood on my mask. The sore is right under my nose in the middle part that splits the nostrils. I have used the tape that nurses use to cove the area. It worked for awhile. Now the sore is back, even using the tape. Sleep DME suggested I use a full face mask so it dosent touch my nose. I will not use a full mask. Love this one. I have tried all sizes of the Nano. All with the same results. Hope someone has a solution for me. Thanks

Try loosening the top strap some. The mask will settle lower on your face and not rub your nasal septum. That did it for me.

I have done that! As of now, the top strap is as loose as I can go without it doing something

Try using a bit of lanolin cream. You can find it in any pharmacy. It's for breastfeeding mothers and very safe.

Re: Sore under nose Swift Nano FX
I use the Nano and had the same issue. It seems they need to be broken in. I no longer have the issue with my first cushion, but when I got a replacement cushion I got sore again.
I use the lanolin a tiny bit under my nose and the helps.
