Hi all,
I've been recently diagnosed with sleep apnoea & at present have a hire machine but I have bought the mask & tube.
The mask is a Resmed Quattro.
I,m having a lot of hassles with the mask, as it's gets very uncomfortable after a while & I have to remove it so as to get to sleep.
Having tried a number of different arrangements, I'm finding that the mask is causing an allergic reaction with my skin to the point of me having to remove the mask.
With my job I had to do CPR training regularly, & when I used the supplied mask then, I always finished up with rashy red lips which persisted for a few days. They blamed it on the Latex mask.
However I'm told that most of the medical equiptment these days uses silicon instead of Latex.
I'm wondering if there are other users of CPAP masks having the same problem, & if there is a known solution to it. Not using a mask is not an option for me.
Regards
Alan
