Does anyone have trouble getting cracks in their nose using Cpap?

No, the humidity makes my nose even less dry than usual.

Welcome to the forum!

To help us help you best, could you please register & under the User Control Panel put the name of your machine, humidifier & mask. That way we know what you are using and those of us with experience in those masks/machines/problems can best help you. You will find a wealth of knowledge on this forum. I've been on CPAP 12 yrs and found this forum in October - I have learned more here about my therapy since October than I knew in the whole 12 yrs before then.

As for those 'nose cracks' I assume you have a nasal pillows mask. What most here recommend is Laniosh ointment/cream. It is found in the baby section of most stores like WalMart & Target. It is a nipple cream for nursing mothers. Put a little on, some folks use a qtip to apply, and this should help heal the crack and if you are using a nasal pillow mask, will help with the seal as well.

Again, welcome & once you have registered, more members with suggestions may be able to help,
