Am looking for an option for husband who is recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. He gets eczema even while wearing a watch. Any recommendations of what type masks to look at considering the above.

There is a "strapless" mask that fits on the teeth and connects to the nose for CPAP machines. You'll need to search on it.

theres a type of mask that pushes into the ends of the nostrils
all noise masks can only work if he sleeps with his mouth shut, a very obvious thing that is often overlooked

All masks are mad of of silicone which is made from sand.I don't really think he'll have a problem with it.
