Y no photos of mask-caused "sores" on the www?

Y no photos of mask-caused "sores" on the www?
My question is this: I have round red spots on both upper sides of my face. I think these were caused by my CPAP machine that I 
started wearing a year-ago. However, mine are not reversible: nothing gets read of them, even Liquid Nitrogen. 
I've been told by many people that they have them also.
But nowhere on the internet, from what I can tell, is there an actual photo of this. 

So I was told that I needed to get cotton cushion mask coverings, that you put around the part of your mask that may cover that area and may be causing the marks. 
Okay, I did. Then I stopped using them after a month. I'll resume using them. 

A dermatologist described them with various terms, but I'm not sure that I agree with those terms that were used. Basically, I was told that 
some of them are pre-cancerous. I have Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and my thinking is that they are related in some way to my
CLL. But if they were, there would be countless photos of them, because a lot of people have CLL.

I don't see one picture on the internet of these. apneaboard makes it difficult to insert photos on here, because they have to be directly from another website. These are photos of myself that I've taken, so they won't be on any other website. But I'm working on it!


Thanks!
