I am also having a terrible time with the nose piece. The inside of my nose is raw, they told me to put hemmororid cream in my nose but I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Is there anyone who makes them out of something else?...

Hi @goldendoodle, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. What type of mask are you using that causes the inside of your nose to get raw? Is it a nose pillow type? I use a full face mask with silicone cushion but I also have a CPAP Comfort Cover that fits over it between my face and the mask and really helps. I had tried another version of the mask I use a ResMed Air Touch F20 which uses a memory foam mask instead of silicone and it is pretty comfortable and doesn't rub the bridge of my nose.
