RE: Allergic to headgear?
Hello, Marcell. Welcome to Apnea Board.
I used the Wisp mask Feb.-May of this year. No problems with the headgear, but I am familiar with it. First, how many nights have you worn the mask? How many nights before you noticed the sores on your scalp? Does the headgear feel uncomfortably tight? I also found an old post from this board where it sounds like someone else was having a similar problem. http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-...This-Issue (06-26-2016, 05:51 PM)Marcell Wrote: Has anyone had sores develop on scalp where back of headgear stays as you sleep?

can you cut the toe out of a sock and slide it over the back strap? Make sure you don't have the straps too tight, this is a common problem that causes all kinds of issues.
