Itchy and breakouts?

Post by trytryagain » Thu Sep 30, 2010 2:33 pm

I'm getting breakouts along strapline between my cheek and jaw on both sides. Also along my forehead . I am using a forehead fleece liner that I purchased online. The triangle around my nose is also itchy all night so I am constantly poking under the mask to scratch. There is no breakout around my nose though, just a little marking that goes away after a while.

As for the strap covers... have you washed them since you got them?

What I'd do is contact padacheek... you might actually have to call her. She's got a bunch of options on her website ( padacheek dot com). She's probably got something or can make something that doesn't make you itch.
