Sore Forehead

Post by TheTwinsMom1 » Mon May 10, 2010 7:20 am

I have a question about my mask. I use the Quattro FFM and I am doing good with it. Not much leakage, however, my forehead is really sore. It feels as though I bonked my head and have a bruise there, but you can not see a bruise. Do you think those padacheek covers would help with a sore forehead? Right now it is sore to the touch, if I wrinkle my forehead it' sore, and touching it is very painful.

Yes I think Pad a Cheek covers might help. But have you adjusted the forehead dial and straps, it sounds like something is too tight, to cause a sore forehead.
