Part Three: Top CPAP fails
and How to solve them!
Some CPAP users experience immediate discomfort and long before considering mask fitting or CPAP pressure issues. Which leads us to today`s central question:
What do I do now? Am I allergic to my CPAP mask!
Here are some tips on how you can test whether your skin is allergic to your CPAP mask, and what to do about it.
- Stop wearing the CPAP mask and contact your physician. Usually an allergic reaction to a CPAP mask will occur the same night you wear it.
- Consider how frequently you clean your mask. Almost 9 out of 10 times, what appears to an allergic reaction to a CPAP mask (such as a bruise on the face or a skin infection) is caused by infrequent cleaning of the mask.
- Check whether your mask is an old version made with latex. The majority of the CPAP masks in the market today are hypoallergenic. Almost all are latex free. Markedly, the type of material can cause an effect on your skin.
- Consider a one time free mask substitute, if you purchased your mask less than (30) thirty days ago.
How are CPAP Pressure Issues and Allergies Related?
Problems with the CPAP Pressure (for example, if there’s too much pressure) can lead to skin irritation, just like an allergy. The same type of skin irritation can occur if the mask is too tight. Indeed, this skin irritation can be seen in redness, itching, and even a rash or open sore.
