If you need a FF mask, your options are limited since there arn't that many FF's masks on the market. You're using the one now that is the best regarded by many CPAP users. Sores are a different thing than 'marks'. Are you getting red marks(?) that go away in a few hours. That maybe about the best you can do. Sores on the other hand mean the mask is a bit too tight. I would guess you are having a lot of trouble with leaks on that FF mask. Maybe you're just straping it on too tight?
