chapped skin and lips from CPAP

Ever since I started using my CPAP machine I've been experiencing chapped skin next to my nose and also really bad chapped lips. I've been using medicated Chap Stick on it and it doesn't really seem to help and it kinda burns on my face. Can anybody recommend something that might work better?

  1. Hi , I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. You may be sensitive to the material that the mask is made from. If you haven't already done so, I would suggest calling your sleep specialist, and they might have some helpful suggestions. Please keep us posted, and I hope you feel better soon.
