This type of complaint has been reported many times in this forum. Some general advice, find your mask model on youtube and carefully watch two or three videos on mask fitting and adjusting.

Also, please refer to your mask by the model name in future posts. There are many models. You can also put your mask and machine model in your equipment profile and it will show on each of your posts and comments.

As a former bald person (during chemo), I wore a beanie under my headgear.
Sometimes a scrap of fleece fabric can be sewed to the headgear
where padding is needed.
If the soreness is persistent, have your doctor look at it.
Not everything is cancer--but get it ruled out.
