Mask question

I am currently using a Tusa mask- I think it's called a Platina? Anyways, its a 2-lens mask. It seems to fit just fine, and I didn't have any problems with it in the pool. Afte rthe open water dives, however, I had a red mark on the left side of the bridge of my nose. It actually felt like my nose was broken, it was so sore.

I'm assuming it's because the mask must be touching my nose there, and at depth it's compressing against my nose? Anyone have any suggestions? I guess if I had been thinking properly, I would've tried on some masks while my nose was sore- that would've let me know what hit my nose and what didn't....but then again, it was swollen.

Anyone know of a mask that has a broader bridge? I don't have a really broad nose, but it does have a little 'kink' right there at the bridge.

Thanks in advance!
