Hi everyone, I’m currently using a BMC F5A full-face CPAP mask. It works quite well for me, but I’m getting noticeable red marks on my skin along the sides of my nose where the mask/silicone contacts my face.

Does anyone else use the F5A and have tips for reducing these marks? I’m particularly interested in advice on mask adjustment, strap tension, liners, or anything else that has worked without causing leaks.

The marks are mainly redness/pressure marks rather than open sores.

Thanks!

Good morning,

I was using a nasal mask with my ResMed AirSense 11 CPAP and my average AHI was around 1. However, because I have difficulty sleeping with my mouth closed, I switched to a BMC F6 hybrid full-face mask.

Since making the switch, the mask pushes against the tip of my nose, causing pain after I've worn it for a while. On top of that, my AHI has increased to around 3.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? Thank you!
