Head Sores/Blisters

Post by keoniholt@yahoo.com » Fri Aug 16, 2013 3:06 pm

It seems although I have been using CPAP for over 10 years the head straps keeps giving me head sores/blisters or is it an infection like wing worm?

Well if those blisters are in the area of your straps then clearly the straps are the culprit.

Probably unnecessary to mention, but clean your straps and hair regularly, and also do a forum search for Pap Cap and consider ordering one (it should help).

I had the same problem. I got the padacheek strap covers.... problem solved and a good investment.
