New Skin for nose bridge area

Post by richardjh101 » Thu Sep 21, 2023 1:13 pm

I have a hard time sealing my full face mask because my nose was broken and I need to have my mask pulled really tight to get a good seal. My nose bridge area has always been a bit sore. I’ve tried bandaids but it’s even harder to get a good seal. The other day, out of desperation, I tried New Skin and just dabbed it on my right side. I woke this morning and for the first time in months my nose area feels really good. Has anyone else tried this remedy and can it be used long term?

Have you tried nasal pillows or one of the newer designs that fit under the nose and don't cover the bridge? Cpap.com is a good place to window-shop to see photos, specs, ratings and customer reviews.

I tried New Skin
Was all the residue gone by the time you got to work? :D

My sweet bullfrog used "Nu Skin" for cuts on his fingers when he was in a bowling league.
Best to apply in a well-ventilated area, as the fumes will make you tear up.

When I had that problem, I used mole skin. It can be found in the foot care section at Wal-Mart or drugstores.
