Is anyone using a cpap mask that's causing face wrinkles

I have tried a few different masks. I am still trying to find a good one. I did find one I like but it caused a problem. It went into my nose and it stretched the opening to my nose.
My problem is my face is small and most masks are for larger faces.
Still trying to get a good fit.

@minnesota10 I am 75 years old and have been using cpap for many years. I am currently using the ResMed AirTouch F20 Full Face CPAP Mask System and find it most comfortable. There is an app measures your head and face and recommend the proper size. You can mix match such have small for both mask and headgear or medium mask and small head gear. It is covered by Medicare. I like the cushion which very comfortable. I found this is much better than the the older full face mask which caused leak all night. Good luck!

@minnesota10 I to have tried several mask along with the just for the nose and ended up with a very sore nose that I had to change back to the f20 full face mask. I have tried creams, covers for the mask, I've looked up on YouTube the different types of masks to learn more about them. I even went on Zepbound to see if maybe losing weight could help me get off the cpap machine all together. Not that I was so over weight but once I heard how it can help with sleep apena my doctor agreed and put me on it. I haven't noticed much change since I just started Zepbound in March of this year, only more frustration with the mask. I hope you soon find something that will work for you much better.
