itch right after getting mask on...

[worn_out_in_lebanon]

It's happened 3 out of 4 nights so far. Just get the mask on, sealed good, then relaxed and comfortable... Then zing.... There's an itch somewhere under the mask that I can't get to.

I've never had a cast before, but feel like I can relate to someone getting an itch under a cast.

The first couple of times I just had to go scratch it, but now I try to wait for it to pass. So hard though.

Why can't the itch come before I get the mask on?! :grin:

Because it is your mind working on you. I have had the same happen earlier on but now it happens only rarely.

Oh, I hear you. Every night I have an itch right beside my nose under the mask.

It's a medical condition... It's called "Murphy's Law Syndrome." Google it........ Or maybe not.

Had it happen a few times. Definitely murphy's law.

I wiggle the mask a bit and the itch usually goes away. If not, I get up, wipe my face and the mask and go back to bed - no more itch.

You can try to use some powder on the areas the mask touches your face. This might help with the itching

[DariaVader]

try shaking the skeeters out of your mask before putting it on...

It would at least keep the mask from having an itch.

I do a preemptive rub and scratch. It works about 75% of the time.
