Skin Irritation

Posted by sleepazoid on January 23, 2006 at 23:44:06:

I have been using a CPAP for over 10 years now and I have recently begun to have some skin irritation and dryness around the area where my mask seals against the skin.

I've never had this problem before so can anyone suggest a course of action or medication I can use?

Thanks!
