What do you do to avoid the bridge of your nose from being sore? I wake up with a mark on it every morning.....so mornings are worse. It this a problem I will need to live with ...or do you think it is a fit problem with my full face mask?
White Beard,
Are you currently using the hybrid or the liberty mask? If so, how are you liking it?

I recommend using either the Hybrid or the Liberty mask, they cover the mouth like a full face mask but they have nasal pillows for the nose, so you don't have any thing pressing on the bridge of your nose and if you wear glasses you can even read with your glasses on with the mask on! I have tried many many different FF masks and I just can't stand the pressure they all put on the bridge of my nose! Anyway it might be worth trying? Good Luck to You
Jim..I to have been using the moleskin with my mask. I put it on the forehead support which is where I was getting the skin iritation. I still have what feels like a pressure sore, but I dont have the skin breakdown that I had before I started using the moleskin.

Get a product called moleskin from the drugstore it comes in sheets, you'll have to cut it to size. I cut mine to about 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches stick it to where it is getting sore before you go to sleep. Also check to see for proper sizing of your mask. those little sore spots can get nasty with out protection, sometimes they start out like a pimple after the spot , then they get infected. if it does that see a dermatologist immediatly! the infection will take weeks to heal and leave a scar
Kathellen I was wondering how you have gone with the mask now that you have been using it for a while. I am new to CPAP and have a sore nose. I did find the mask on the website but just wondered how you went as we don't have them in Australia
