Cpap leaving marks on face

Posted by hubman on July 08, 2002 at 05:52:41:

Hi all,

I have just gotten a Cpap machine for my sleep apnia. I feel great for the first time in over twenty years of suffering with this disorder. I don't think that I put the mask on too tight but I have a mark on my nose that has been there since day one. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this without getting rid of the CPAP. I know that the mask is loose because I actually pulled it off this last night during sleep. I know I put it on last night and woke up with it on the side of the bed. Any suggestions I can have to get rid of this mark?
Any suggestions????

Thanks,
Hubman
