RE: Head cold
Is this nasal secretions or your breath condensing on a colder mask? I suspect the later. Your nose and lungs add moisture to the air you breathe, and if you are sleeping in a colder room, the moisture will condense on the mask.
The cure for that is to turn up the temperature of your heated hose, which will warm the mask.

RE: Head cold
If the nasal drip is from a cold, I turn off the humidity and the drier air seems to solve the issue. I also rinse my nose with a sterile saline solution -- not a neti pot.
