masks

I've noticed a little problem with the masks lately and wonder if any of you have noticed something different about them. I've tried different masks and all have become uncomfortable in that they are tickly/scratchy. Some of the people I work with have even had some dermatology problems because of them.
The supplier has come in and actually exchanged our stock, but they are no different. Many of us now wear the "sensitive skin" masks, but these really provide no protection.
Any input from you would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: masks

This is the problem that brought me to this site. I was hoping to find some suggestions on what to try next. The masks have been extrememly scratchy and irritating. I was already wearing the hypo-allergenic ones. Any suggestions out there??

I participated in fit testing this past week and had no one complain about this. We use masks made by 3M.
