After starting CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy, you become pretty used to how your CPAP mask feels during the night. Or maybe you've also noticed a few nights of discomfort with allergies or due to an illness leading to you to consider other mask options.

The CPAP mask is one of the most important parts of the CPAP machine as a whole.

What happens if the mask is comfortable for a while, but you wake up with red marks on your face? This is a common occurrence that has a couple of main causes and is easy to remedy.
