My quality of sleep has gotten much better but this mask is leaving some serious bruises and skin irritations around bridge of my nose and face area. I've tried listening the head gear to see if that the issue but nope it isn't too tight. I'm really trying to adjust but I'm utterly frustrated. I tried the nasal pillows during my sleep study but omg that pressurized air directly in my nose was unbearable.

Does anyone have any suggestions I know I have to sleep on this machine for my benefit but I'm really not pleased with what's happening to my skin around bridge of nose and mouth.

I use a mask called a Wisp, (Whisp?) and it's just a nicely cushioned piece that fits over my nose with soft straps. It came with three sizes of 'cups' for the over-the-nose bit, and i've wound up with th medium one. I find it's so very soft that there's no red line or bump or anything. It's newer than some, but worth asking if your place has them. Also they aren't that expensive to buy on your own. It's nice too not having anything on my forehead or chin. Everyone seems to do better with different ones for different reasons though, so maybe check it out. http://www.thecpapshop.com/respironics-wisp-nasal-mask

I use the whisp too.

Gonna check this out today.
