Windburn? - parkerdt - 06-05-2015 Last night was my best night yet in the 2 weeks I've had the machine. Used my Respironics WISP with a size L cushion; was comfortable with it for a bit over 8 hours with an AHI of 0.2. What's not to like? My nose is RED and Sore! Not the part under the cushions as I would expect, but the part that is out in the interior space of the mask. It feels like windburn more than anything else. THe Aloe/Emu cream has help a bit, but I do not think I can wear that mask tonight - too sore! Anyone ever experienced this, and have any tricks for avoiding or mitigating the problem? thanks! Dave RE: Windburn? - krelvin - 06-05-2015 Never had that problem in +9 years. Also can't imagine intentionally not using my cpap for a night... ever. If I had the problem, I would figure a way to work through it while still using the cpap. RE: Windburn? - zonk - 06-05-2015 Wash the mask daily and wash your face before masking up, and don't over tighten the straps This might helps, Wisp mask liner from "pad a cheek" RE: Windburn? - parkerdt - 06-05-2015 I wash the mask daily. And the cut-out in the liner posted above is where the RED is - arghh. I will use my CPAP tonight, just not with my Respironics WISP. Which, so far, gives me better results than my P10. But P10 here I come. thanks Dave
