Head gear / chin strap problems

A few times within the last few weeks I've woken up w/ a lump on the side of my head right where my chin strap & mask tube converge. I have the mask tube velcroed to the side of the mask strap which runs up the side of my head where the lump accurs. It goes away after a day or so if I switch to my full face mask w/o tube strapped to head gear & no mouth strap. Has anyone had an experience such as this?!?!?! I'm also wodering if the chin strap could play a part as well. I have it on extremely tight to avoid leaks & loss of pressure.

Can you move the velcro to somewhere else? Can you create your own chinstrap/headstrap combo?

I've attached my NAII to my Topaz Chin strap with four loops of Velcro One Wrap. I have to adjust where those loops are now and then, to prevent a repetitive sore developing.

Cheers,

Thank you to dream stalker. The link which showed the photo of the tube going up & through the top strap was a great help. I've slept that way for the past 2 nights & have noticed a huge difference.
- thanks to Babs as well.
