I like my mask choice, but still get occasional facial sores or leaking.

Your cpap supplier should offer products that might be helpful if you otherwise like your mask. One is the Gecko nasal pad. It is an easy to use gel pad that is placed across the nose bridge and under the mask. It helps with leak in the upper part of the mask frame and is beneficial to patients who have a narrow nose bridge or who are prone to cuts or irritation to the nose bridge. Another product patients find helpful are SoreSpot CPAP Skin Protectors. They are a unique liquid-filled bandage that minimizes friction and helps prevent skin irritation. Check out RemZzz’s or Comfort Covers full face and nasal mask liners. They are applied directly to the silicone mask cushion to help absorb facial moisture and oils, and prevent skin irritation and pressure marks as well as to reduce noisy mask leak.
