Hi - New CPAP user here. So far it's been a tremendous help, but I have a couple of questions. First, does anyone know whether there is a connection between CPAP and rosacea? I wake up with redness around my nose where my nasal mask sits from the air pressure. I'm mildly concerned about long term effects.

Also, I'm finding cleaning the mask to be a bit of a hassle. I saw some daily wipes advertised, although they seem fairly expensive ($15 plus shipping). Has anyone tried them? My provider described them as "glorified baby wipes," which frankly made me wonder whether baby wipes themselves might do as good a job. Anyone tried those?

Thanks for the insights.
