EAR CYSTS anyone?

sorry, this is a bit off topic but it's one more thing that wakens me up. The cysts are very small but get painful enough, after a few hours pressure, to swaken me to turn over. Have had the worst offender removed but it's back with a vengeangance.
So now added to all the cpap paraphenalia, tape, chin strap, special pillow, etc etc I now have added foam pads with a hole cut in the middle for my ears. I've had some strange comments about them.
If anyone has experience of this problem please either post, if considered appropriate or pm me. thanks.
