> i get an itchy feeling around my nose and it bugs me
Even worse, it can interfere with sleep. There may be some mold/mildew buildup in your gear that you are sensitive to. Use a "Free & Clear" soap, e.g., Seventh Generation Free & Clear, which is available many places. Wash the plastic part of the mask once a month. Wash the cushion that is in contact with your face once a week. Rinse it daily with luke warm water. Wash the hose and humidifier once a month, but first rinse them with vinegar, then wash with soap. Of course, rinse all those well. And use distilled water in your humidifier. People with allergies have to operate under different rules than people who don't.
> what can i use
houltkin has already suggested Sarna. It's the best that I've found, and I've tried many. Just be sure that it says "Sarna Sensitive", not the Regular.
getting itchy
I sometimes (well a little more than sometimes ) get itching on my nose, but it is more like a tickle..like maybe there is a fleck of dust that is blowing around in my FFM. Nothing I can SEE on the occasions that I have bothered to get up and go in the bathroom and check the mask and my nose in the bright light, but oh so bothersome!

That is one of the nice things about the Hybrid FF. You can scratch the nose without interfering with the mask.trice54 wrote:I sometimes (well a little more than sometimes ) get itching on my nose, but it is more like a tickle..like maybe there is a fleck of dust that is blowing around in my FFM.
