The doctor prescribed a ResMed Ultra Mirage mask and it is leaving marks on the right side of my nose and a sore on the bridge between the nostrils. I tightened the mask up lastnight and I slept great and feel better. Although, I have the marks that are getting worse everyday. I will loosen up the mask again tonight and see what happens. I wont let the marks stop me from using the CPAP because I haven't felt this good in way too many years. I just wish that the mask would not leave the marks and sore on my face. I wish there was something I could do during the day to help to get rid of them. I don't want to go back to how I used to feel.
Thank you for all your help.
