Nasal mask irritated skin
So I am on the 5 night of using my machine and mask. I had been showing large leaks so last night I tightened up the straps on my mask. This morning I wake up and my skin is very irritated and swollen on both sides of my nose.I am now worried about sleeping with my mask on again tonight. Any ideas? I can post pictures if anyone things it'll help.

Use a liner (make one out of an old t-shirt)
Tightening is usually counter productive as it creates more leaks. They work more like hover crafts where they have to inflate to work well.
If that doesn't help go back to the DME and tell them you want a new mask. Bring your machine and favourite pillow. Try on the new mask under full pressure while laying down. Just like shoes, you need to try them on and walk in them.
