Hi Guys and Gals,

I'm new to this site, and a new cpap user. I've been using the machine (respironics remstar plus, with m series humidifier, and a respironics comfort gel nasal mask) for about 7 weeks now, and i seem to be getting on with it okay apart from being woken every night, with an itchy nose! It's only on the tip, not inside my nose, but it drives me crazy. I try to ignore it but i always succumb and give it a scratch. I've searched my mask for a hair or something that cause this but there's nothing there. I've even tried coating my nose with Vaseline and that didn't help. I also tried a band aid but that didn't work either. Has anyone out there had the same problem and found a solution? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Rip.
