Red marks, skin irritation, and pressure sores from your CPAP mask are common, but they're not something you have to just live with.
5 ways to reduce mask irritation:
1️⃣ Clean your mask cushion daily; skin oils accelerate breakdown
2️⃣ Check your fit; a mask that's too tight causes more irritation, not less
3️⃣ Try a different cushion material; foam vs silicone makes a big difference for some patients
4️⃣ Use a mask liner to create a barrier between the cushion and your skin
5️⃣ Replace your cushion regularly; worn cushions lose their shape and cause pressure points
