Only had cpap a couple weeks and even with cloth liners I am getting an increase of itchy welts from mask. Was just fitted with this mask because of the lack of silicone. Hope it works better.

Welcome @patrista, I don't have the rash or allergy from silicone but have used the ResMed AirTouch F20 full face CPAP mask in the past along with a CPAP Comfort Cover. I had to stop using the F20 because both the AirFit and AirTouch were making the bridge of my nose extremely sore by morning. It will be great if it works for you. I was told you need to replace the AirTouch memory foam masks every month but I just used the wipes and the cloth covers which I washed often.

I think the key is to not give up on the CPAP and use it daily. If you have any questions on using your CPAP, there are a lot of members here on Connect that may be able to share their experience and offer suggestions.
