Hi

possibly herpes zoster but see your Dr!.

Diseases that manifest on only one side of your face are generally a strain of the herpes virus!. (ewwww I hear you say!) but almost 80% of all people have HSV (herpes simplex 1) and it resides in the trigeminal ganglion (one the major nerves that innervates the facial muscles and senses)!. when it presents as red patches it only appears in the areas innervated by that nerve!. ( one side at a time)
had chicken pox!?
do you have any intra oral lesions!?

antivirals like aciclovir or penciclovir are used to treat!.

hope this helps in some way!.

Could be because you sleep on that side!. Pimples are the result of blocked pores, they're more common when you're a teenager because your skin thickens at that age!. Other things can cause it too though, like soap, the wrong facial cream or sleeping with one half of your face pressed into your pillow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have sort of the same problem but way less drastic!.!.!.

I've never had acne but most the time I usually would get the casual blackhead and or pimple on the right side of my face more than the left!.

I think its just simply that I'm right handed and somehow it works out that way!.

If you sleep on that side, it could be the pillow or pillow case or even sheets!.

Might be the pillow needs to be replaced, a cleaner detergent used, or maybe the pillow case just needs to be washed more often!. Oil on the sheets/pillowcases can cause breakouts!. Some need to wash them more often!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
