Has anyone had allergies and constantly sneezing, blowing nose or nose dripping like a faucet .. and started after using the cpap. I’ve always had allergies but this is beyond terrible. Because I’ve been allergic to band aids and all sorts of plastic and rubber type materials and thinking that all the tubing, mask and everything is made from one of these... what other option would there be?

Hello @dshep2001, Welcome to Connect. I'm wondering if you might be allergic to silicone. It does sound like it might be an allergy. Depending on the type of CPAP mask you have, you might want to try a cloth comfort cover that fits on the mask to keep it away from your skin. My sleep medicine PA first told me about them and I've been using them since shortly after I started using a CPAP. I have an AirFit F20 full face CPAP mask and use a comfort cover that I found online here: https://cpapcomfortcover.com/

Have you discussed your symptoms with your sleep medicine doctor?
