Hello all
I have been using a full face mask for about 4 years now and gradually have noticed that my nose always looks sunburned or even a little purple on cold days. A discoloration from the rest of my face pigment for sure.
I am wondering if anyone else has experience this or heard of it. I have met with dermatologists who can't find a reason for it, but I brought up the CPAP and they weren't sure if that could be a contributing factor.
Just curious if anyone here may have any thoughts.

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
