<br />
This is one of the problems with Nasal Pillow masks.<br />
<br />
If you can tolerate wearing a nasal mask to allow your nares to heal, that would be great.<br />

Also it could be that your headgear is not quite centered on your head and pulling your nasal pillows slightly more to one side than the other, or the hose is tugging your nasal pillows slight more to one side than the other if it is just one nostril and the pillow itself is rubbing the interior of your nose.

I was having that problem and I was told to get the aloe gel with lidocaine that you use when you have a sunburn.<br />
They told me to put just a small amount around the nasal part....I started using and it works perfect and it helps give you a good seal.

Are you cleaning your nasal pillows regularly? The suggested regimen is daily cleaning with soap and water. The symptoms you describe could be due to dirty pillows irritating your nostrils.

How long have you been using the mask that is bothering you? How long have you been using a cpap?<br />
<br />
Which mask are you using? Somewhere on the mask, hopefully, it will tell. If not please give us more description, if you are able.<br />
<br />
I used Ayr gel when I was toughening my nares up. Others have used lanolin successfully. Do not use petroleum based products as they have a tendency to break down the silicone.
