Understanding and preventing CPAP-related Nose Sores 

Preventing and Treating CPAP Nose Sores 

Blog Introduction: CPAP therapy is a life-saving treatment, but it can cause some uncomfortable side effects. Many CPAP users suffer from nose sores, both inside and outside of the nose. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to prevent these sores from occurring and to treat them if they do. Let’s look at why nose sores occur and how you can treat them. 

Why Nose Sores Occur 

Nose sores are a common side effect of CPAP therapy. They often occur when the pressurized air from the CPAP machine causes nasal passage dryness. This dryness can cause burning sensations in the nasal passages, as well as irritation on the outside of the nose bridge or around the face due to traditional full-face masks. However, nasal masks and nasal pillow users are not immune to this problem either; they too may experience burning sensations during their treatments. 

Treating Nose Sores 

Fortunately, there are solutions available that help relieve suffering skin without impacting your CPAP mask or causing harm to your health. One such product is Nadu CPAP Soothe Balm—a moisturizing balm designed specifically for those who suffer from nose sores due to their CPAP treatments. The balm helps nourish and protect irritated skin while maintaining a healthy seal with your mask so that you can continue your sleep apnea treatment effectively and comfortably. 

Nose sores are an unfortunate reality for many CPAP users; however, they don’t need to define your experience with sleep apnea therapy! Knowing why these sores occur is key to preventing and treating them correctly so that you can enjoy all of the benefits of using a CPAP machine without any annoying side effects or discomfort. Nadu CPAP Soothe Balm is an excellent solution for those suffering from nose soreness caused by their therapies; it helps keep your skin hydrated while allowing you to maintain an effective seal with your mask so that you can enjoy restful sleep throughout the night without any interruptions or discomfort!
