Yes I use the nose pillow. They gave me a cover for the outside of the device so I don’t break out around it, just a very painful scabby n, raw nose. I will call my Dr. on Monday and get what you recommended. I keep thinking I will get used to it. I knew I was allergic to laytex, shellfish, iodine and titanium go figure. Thanks for the help. Happy New Year.

@goldendoodle I don't have any experience with the nose pillow mask type. I'm wondering if other members who use one can offer suggestions. I'm wondering if it might be the wrong size and/or if they come in different sizes. I was able to work with a local medical store where I bought a SoClean machine to clean the mask and tubing and they were great at helping me with fitting issues. Hopefully your doctor can help you come up with something that works for you.

@thankful do you use a nose pillow?
