[ACNE] Why do I ONLY get cystic acne on ONE side of my face?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
TL;DR It's usually the forehead, and I get the deep, painful, red cystic pimples that never seem to come to a head for weeks. And I always get several clumped together on one side of my forehead, where you can literally see a line dividing the clean acne free side to the acne ridden side. No fringe as my head's shaven, don't use the phone, and I've even videod myself sleeping and I tend to sleep on the Acne-free side. So it's not contact causing this, so what gives?Long story; 24 now. Had acne since 14. Was prescribed Benzoyl Peroxide initially amongst other oral antibiotics, which kept acne at bay. Continued using BP as I still got the occasional FUBAR cystic pimple, and decided to incorporate Acne.org AHA+ 3 years ago. Did wonders for my skin complexion. PIH gone, and face looked healthier. Until, I overdid it and got a chemical burn. Went to the GP's and was prescribed Fucidin H (corticosteroids) for the burns. BAD IDEA! Made shit worse.Decided it was best to lay off everything. Stopped using anything other than a mild moisturiser (Simple KTS Light Moisturiser). Obviously, acne started appearing again, as I wasn't using BP. Went back onto antibiotics but they did nothing. Since then I've noticed I only get acne on the right side of my face; Forehead, temple, down the sideburns section about my upper cheek. That's it. Nowhere else. First conclusion I came to was obviously; contact. Perhaps I touch that side more? Nope. I don't use a phone for calls, I have a shaved head, and I even filmed myself sleeping to see if I slept on that side. Nope, I sleep on the other side.The other side is so clean, no acne, pimples, PIH. Nothing. Maybe one pimple a month. The other side is a monstrosity, a real Harvey Dent situation. You can literally see a line through the middle of my forehead and see the clean side and the acne bombarded side. 4 pimples at any one time. Usually 1-2 big, deep, painful, red, throbbing cysts that never seem to come to a head, surround by clusters of smaller ones, like fucktards following around a bigger fucktard of a leader. As soon as one goes away and I start my celebratory fist pump in the air, another fucker appears. I've started incorporating my BP since January now, and it doesn't seem to have the same effect it's had for the past decade.WHY?Products I use; Sulphar Soap for cleansingAztec Clay Mask (1-2 times a week)Stridex Red Box / PC's 2% BHAAcne.org 2.5% Benzoyl PeroxideAcne.org AHA+ 10% Glycolic Acid (1-2 times a week)Simple KTS Light MoisturiserEucerin Aquaphor
