Face rash

I have a full face mask which fits nicely. It doesn't leak and it's not unbearably loud. The problem is that after about four nights, my skin, where the mask makes contact, starts to get red then soon gets sore and flaky. I'm not sure if I'm having an allergic reaction to the seal or if it's chafing. Any ideas?

Make sure you wash (warm soapy water and rinse well) the mask parts that make contact with your skin even if they are brand new out of a sealed plastic bag ... there may be residues from manufacturing/packaging process.

I had the same problem and solved it with CereVe Hydrating Lotion, (CVS), not the moisturizer.

First I wash my face. I use just water and rub vigorously. Then I put the lotion where my mask hits my face just before going to bed. In the morning, I apply it again. It also helps with sealing the mask.
