I have (had) exactly the same problem with my ULTRA MIRAGE mask. In my case, the soreness was on my upper lip but not directly under the nose. I tried moleskin..which worked, but hurt more peeling off than the original soreness :) and tried adjusting the mask to the minimum tightness necessary to make a seal. I found that as time when on, the mask softened a bit, especially after repeated washings in soapy water, and now, while not completely gone, the soreness on the upper lip is greatly diminished and some nights I hardly notice it.

Luckily, it never progressed to a full fledged SORE, just irritation..
