Just read your post,new to board.
Sounds like you have the same problem as I.
I get a red mark & sometimes sore on the top
bridge of nose.I use full face mask ResMed Quattro,Dr.advised using Mole Skin type pading in
the mask where it hits the spot on bridge of nose.
I have to put it under the outside top flex part
which is first part of mask..Don't know if it corrects problem
yet due to was just advised yesterday that I had
pad in wrong spot.I put the pad on the spot on bridge of nose ,then put mask on,& med equiptment
person was able to see where & part of mask was hiting..Hope this helps.A new mask has come out considerd a full face mask but is smaller & has two nose pillows w/a mask covering just mouth area called the Liberty.I have it coming in a couple of days,so hopefully will be better..
