I am tying to help compile information regarding problems identified by users with different types of masks. Let me know any problems you have and I will try to help.

FFM and nose itch. There are a number of recommendations from this group, and for me, they all did not work. Comments given to me: too much humidity, wash the face with a special soap, use benedryl, mask too tight etc. I had to move away from a FFM and go with a nose pillow system that has worked wonders, even with a deviated septum and sinus issues. Nose pillow issue was the pressure point under the nose, where I had a suture scar from a noise surgery. Resolution was a mask pillow that cushioned the area enough that there was minimal discomfort.

Good luck with your research.
