Hello I know that the masks are designed to be replaced every 6 months by insurance standards. The material in them begins to break down over time. Could it be that the gel is leaking out somewhere?

I would suggest a new mask. I hope this helps. If not PM me and I make some mask liner that will cover the seal to prevent skin contact.
