CPAP indentation on nose

3 replies

Hobbit78 · 02/04/2023 15:13

I’ve recently started using Cpap machine with a full face mask. The mask is leaving a really bad indentation on the bridge of my nose. I’ve tried using gauze but that didn’t help,
I’d prefer to stick with the full face mask as I’m quite restless in bed.
Does anyone have any suggestions please.
Thanks 😊

It may be on too tight or not quite in the right place. My DP has this sometimes and often puts a fabric plaster on the bridge of his nose that helps.

I work on nicu and most of our little people get indentation marks. We put Duoderm dressing on top of the marks and it forms like a second skin to prevent further marking.
You can buy packs of it and just cut out little bits that you need and they will last ages.
Obviously the mask needs to be on tight to get a good seal and keep the pressure high enough.

Yes, I was going to say duoderm as well.
