Allergic reaction to headgear?

[Tigers Fan]

Do you get an itchy head, red blotches even soreness under the headgear straps?

Tried the fleece cushions and whatever else you can think of?

Head & Shoulders Sensitive Skin was the best answer I had come up with - and achieved a 95% result but still had itches on my scalp.

So when I found (I think its new) Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp, I just had to give it a go.

Marvellous stuff! Both sampoo and conditioner cause a cool tingle on my scalp and banished the itches after the first use. Last evening I was toasty warm and they came back a bit but another application this morning and thre isn't even a sign of redness let alone an itch.

Hi acebass

What do you mean by 'burnt'? It actually damaged your scalp, as in red areas and/or skin peeling, or do you mean gave you a burning sensation.

'Itchy scalp' only or all/any H&S products?

I find H&S so good that I'm surprised by your post.

not itchy , feels like mild burning sensation, and yes at the time all H&S products. Stopped using them and had no trouble since, admittedly it was some years ago, but things like that tend to stop you from trying a product again.

Oh yes! you won't catch me near Gillette shave foam for similar, several year old reasons.

All my men wear OLD SPICE--Love that stuff. Probably doesn't have a thing to do with CPAP--but thought I'd put in my 2 cents. x Berneta

[Tigers Fan]

How many do you have?????????

[Berneta]

Old Spice

Why do you want to know??????????????? x Berneta

[Tigers Fan]

Because I am (was) a Chartered Engineer so I like to measure things and because I'm an Armchair Psychologist so I'm nosy.

Most of all, because you are an Intriguing Woman!

Old Spice

Thank you TF, I could count the men in this life, or in this life and past lives, and in future lives as well--but I won't. Sorry, you'll never know. You'll just have to take my word for it. Life is eternal and Old Spice is nice! LOL, x Berneta

Serious question, do you have hair on your head TF? I know some people who are bald may wonder whetehr that shampoo is stil lof use even to them.

[Tigers Fan]

Well, as it happens ....

I can vouch for both bald and for hairy scalps benefitting from H&S 'Itchy Scalp' shampoo and conditioner. It works on both types of area on my head, anyway.

If you have very sensitive skin, check out the SleepWeaver range. It is the first soft cloth mask and is more sensitive to the skin causing less irritation.

A nasal SleepWeaver mask is also available.
