I've known many patients who liked the nasal pillows and had this problem. One method that worked for them was having a mask and nasal pillows. When the nostrils got sore from the pillows they would switch to the mask until the nostrils returned to normal.

With some patients that preferred face masks, using pillows occasionally could help keep the mask marks from becoming a major problem.

Best wishes,
