Sore Nose

Posted by BaS on February 20, 2006 at 15:08:15:

Hi - I've been using a ComfortLite mask for about a month now. At first, it took a bit of getting used to, but now I find it really good except one issue which is getting worse and worse. The 'nipples' of the mask sit flush under my nostrils so the air shoots up into my nose. They don't enter into my nose at all. Problem that has arisen is that the nipples have caused major irritation of my nose, to the point where I can hardly wear the mask anymore. It is that sore, feels like major bruising as it is real tender, on both sides. This is keeping me awake now, so it is defeating the purpose of the mask.

Does anyone know a rememdy for this? Might there be a cream or lotion which can alleviate the soreness???

Thanks.
