Help! I used my CPAP with nasal mask successfully for seven years. About two years ago, my vendor accidentally sent me a new mask, size small. My head is large. This mask resulted in bad irritation on my nose and upper lip. I have tried four different brands of mask; I have used the gel strip across my nose, and I have used the paper/cloth covering for my mask. Nothing works; I still get the bad irritation, mainly on my upper lip and the sides of my nose.
As a result, I have not been using my CPAP. I definitely need it. I am at my wits end. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Re: nose irritation
1. Which model masks do you have?
2. Are any of them the right size?
3. Of the masks you have, which one(s) do you think would work for you if the irritation could be eliminated?
4. Have you found fitting and adjusting video guides for any of the masks you have on youtube and watched three or four of them?

Re: nose irritation
Why havent you asked the vendor for the correct size?
