My dad has a cpap mask and it made his nose raw and infected. is there anything ointments or anything to help get rid of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bacitracin: I assume it is the outside of the nose. If so try otc Bacitracin 2-3 times daily. If not better or recurs then consider allergic reaction to the mask materials.
