I finally ordered my mask liner for my full-life mask and a barrel cover for my Swift LT. I am excited to try them.
Now that the weather has been getting warm. My Swift lt seems to touch my upper lip leaving me with a sweaty lip...not a pleasant experience.
I have also been getting some facial acne. Not sure if that is Apnea related or mask related. I started washing my headgear weekly so I hope that will help.

Re: Pad a cheek
Good luck with the liner!
I've had a couple of breakouts on my chin too, but I wear a FFM. I wipe it daily with non-alcohol, unscented baby wipes.
You can try dabbing a little cornstarch on your upper lip and see if that helps keep it dry. Same for the area that your headgear is bothering.

Re: Pad a cheek
I change to a clean cloth under the forehead piece of my headgear that presses against my forehead every night and still get some breaking out. I think it's heat/pressure related. Ick.
