There are some products that help with red marks and leaks. One that has received good
reviews is moleskin which is sold to prevent blisters. You would cut to size and take the
self adhesive side and stick it to the mask where needed, not to the face. Not only helps
the marks but can be used in areas of the mask that leak.

I was sent a sample of a similar product that was made for using with cpap masks a few years
ago. Not sure where to find it or if it is still available.

There is also a generic version of moleskin that is thinner which may work better depending
on the need. You want something that is soft where it touches the skin.

Best wishes,
Sandman
