Re: Itchy nose... after the CPAP mask is on

[Guest guest]

Dyane -

I have learned how to beat it. I scratch my nose and cheeks before I put on the

mask and use a wipe to get oils off my mask and face before I put it on. It

seems to reduce the inevitable itch... LOL. It is a law... your face will

itch/tingle AFTER you put on the mask!

Have a great Turkey Day,

does your nose not itch until you have the mask on and adjusted? Its like a

s law or something LOL.
