Sore Cheeks

Sore Cheeks
Hey guys, So Ive been using a Cpap machine for a little over a year and have had my Philips Respironics DreamWear Nasal Pillows Mask for all but the first two month of that time and I really love it. Unfortunately I have just recently started to notice that when I wake up of a morning there are red marks where the mask sat that are staying visible for longer and longer and that I am starting to have broken skin on this line.
What I wondering is, has anyone else had this problem and how did they fix it?
Should I just start using some kind of moisturizer? If so any recommendations?

RE: Sore Cheeks
My DreamWear mask came with a cloth velcro wrap for those cheek parts. I'd suggest trying that.

PadACheek is on the supplier list, and sells them.

I'd guess your skin has gotten sensitive to it after all this time.
