Many report a contact problem with the gel type and other masks that rest against the nose or other contact points.
It is probably very difficult to get this to heal while still using the irritating mask.

The Breeze does not come in contact, so there is no irritation. Some will have a bit of nares opening irritation though.

A Breeze should solve this problem for you. they cost about 80-90 bucks.
