Skin Problems With Full Facemask

Post by Newbie317 » Sun May 25, 2014 5:40 pm

I am new to the C-Pap, and am using a full face mask. Every morning I wake up with puffiness under my eyes; little sacks that look like they are filled with fluid. It takes hours for them to disappear. Does anyone else have this problem or any ideas to help me? I would appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!!

Is your mask leaking up into your eyes?
