Hi Chrissy
I use a Bipap too, the Nippy st+. The best mask l have found so far is the Resmed Aitfit F20 . If you are experiencing itchy skin or irritation you could try a mask liner. Also there are foam or gel strips that you can either buy or ask your Bipap provider or respiratory nurses for. These may help a little. Also during the day you could use a soothing lotion like Aveeno.
Take care and keep safe.🌹
Try washing it in warm water with some Dettol in with it, thats what i do every few days
