I agree with the first 3 postings especially the last paragraph of
skillsaw's message.

Finding a mask that works for you is important. Sometimes you can
tighten a mask too much trying to keep it on or to stop leaks.

One technique my father used was something very similar to mole skin.
It may have been a little thinner. However, mole skin may work. You
stick it to the mask at points where there is a leak or where it may
feel loose. The soft side of the mole skin against your face, along
with being able to reduce the pressure against your face, should help
prevent pressure sores.

If the mask you are using is not compatible with your face, every face
is different, you should try other masks.

Some people swap back and forth between nasal pillows and a standard
masks. When one starts bothering them the switch to the other, back
and forth. This can also keep pressure sores away.

Put in a little work on figuring out what is best, you will be
rewarded many times with better health and more energy.

Best wishes,
Sandman
