My face hurts

Post by Guest » Wed May 17, 2006 10:08 am

Does anyone have trouble with their face being sore where the cushion (Activa) rests? Especially bridge of nose and upper lip? My face is almost on fire during the day. What can I put on my face to help? I am hoping to either change cushions from standard to shallow or get a new mask. I have a very small framed face.

I do not use the Activa. However, you may be allergic to the materials in the Activa. If your face is on fire, I would not use the mask. Call Resmed and ask them what materials are in the mask so you will not buy another mask with the same materials.

If I say my face hurts, everyone else tells me it's killing them! Thus I shy from that statement.....
