Why am I only get acne on one side of my face?

Question

Hi! I'm a 23 yr old currently suffering from adult acne. 
I've noticed that for about a month and a half now, I have been getting quite a bit of acne on the right side of my face. They're usually small and spaced out from my side burn area to my chin/jaw. Here are a couple things I've heard that might be the reason but I don't think they resonate with me. 
1) It might be due to too much sugar intake. - I have drastically lowered my sugar intake from 1.5 months ago. Before I used to eat cookies and a ton of junk food. Now I have an occasional small cookie but, mostly, I get my sugar intake from fruits. So that doesn't seem to be the case
2) Dirty pillow case.-The right side of my face never touches the pill case since I sleep on my left side. Also, I wash my pillow case quite frequently so that isn't applicable to me neither.
3) Phone-I usually put my phone on speaker or use headphones to answer calls so that isn't the reason either.
4) Dirty Hair- I wash my hair every 2 days, before it starts getting grease/dirty. I also part my hair to the left so most of it isn't touching my right side. So, again, that's no the reason either. 
I do touch my face here and there but I usually touch both sides, not just the right side. I put makeup on to hide the acne and the dark marks left behind by the acne. I don't drink a ton of coffee. Maybe 4 oz per day during the weekdays. 
So...Why am I breaking out on one side of my face? How can I stop it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Normally the blockage of pores by oil or dir or cosmetics is the cause of acne.  Makeups or touching could be the cause of your acne. cleaning is a good way to provent pores to be clogged. Try a cleanser that can absorb oil or dirt out of pores as Chlorella Gel Cleanser does.

You rest on your hand on that side of the face

One simple step that works to keep acne and acne scars away. 
Niacinamide (aka Niapads ®) face pads help keep acne away by scrubbing open clogged pores, oily residues and exfoliation. Feel a pimple coming? Just wet a pad, place it on the pimple and remove it when dry. Sit back and watch pimple disappear. Works on body acne too. 
These pads also help reduce skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars). Try it and see the difference.

I also had acne along my jawline. It sucked! Get a lotion called bevoline. It will clear it up. It's cheaper on Amazon if you have prime. I hope my answer helps:)
