ResMed F20 causing red face

Post by Lyndmc » Mon Oct 28, 2024 9:19 am

I’m new to the ResMed F20 mask. The version that I have is the F20 airfit, and I know that they make an F20 with a cushion. I chose the air fit because coming from the Phillips comfort gel, it had the outer silicone flap and it lasted a good while.

They originally gave me the N20 mask, it had the cushion, and every 2 weeks it started to leak and needed to be replaced.

Since using the airfit mask, my face is red above my chin, it seems to stay that way all day. I’ve never been sensitive to silicone, but I’m wondering if that’s what is happening here. This picture was taken 4 hours after taking the mask off. Anyone else experience this?
