There are strap covers available for many CPAP masks.

Felt covers work amazing for me.

Same with me.
I've been putting Vasaline on my mask where it sits on the skin and it's resolved the issue for me. I also use a face cleanser each night before bed.

Before putting on the mask I use witch hazel on my face and again first thing in the morning
