Chapped Lips anyone?
I have been using my Airsense 10 Respond machine with an Airfit f20 full face mask for over 6 months now.
The only side effect that I am noticing is chapped lips every morning - does this ever happen to others?

Possibly increasing the humidity might help stop this. Also, lip balm before bed and in the morning would help (you may already be doing something similar).

Chapped lips may indicate you have a leak situation. I recommend Aquaphor healing ointment as a lip balm. I actually had to use this when using Fluorouracil, cytotoxic chemotherapy medication used to treat cancer and pre-cancer. In my case on the lower lip. Painful, but Aquphor provided the best relief.
