full face mask red marks

Is there anyway to prevent your cheeks from getting red marks after having the full face mask on all night? It almost takes 10 hours for the marks to fade. I am allergic to latex.

You can try the following because it worked for me.

1. Don’t yank down the mask straps so tight. What I do is put my machine on “face mask fit test” (puts machine basically on max pressure). Tighten straps enough to stop leaks and you should be good.

2. Use a face mask liner from REMzzz or better yet, buy some well fitted quality ones from Pad-A-Cheek. Wash liners by hand with some hand soap every few days as required to keep them clean. Have several sets to rotate through. I use REMzzz right now but will order some pad a cheek liners when I wear out my existing stick of liners.

3. Get a mask that uses memory foam cushion. I have both ResMed AirTouch F20 and Airfit F20 and I like the AirTouch F20 a lot. I use liners with either mask to maximize cushion life and keep everything “sanitary”.

4. Mask strap covers work to also prevent red marking in your face and neck as I have that problem with my masks.
Hope that helps
