itchy nose

Posted by NeedsToSleep on April 21, 2005 at 11:34:57:
I've just started using my CPAP machine. I've found that my nose gets itchy and red under the mask. I've tried putting a piece of gauze over my nose and then putting the mask on, but it slips around and interfers with the seal. I wash the mask out every morning. Any suggestions?
