Normally, my acne is manageable Ndimities to my forehead, but for the past few months I've had painful and severe acne just down the left edge of my face (the side I sleep on). I've tried washing my case more frequently, changing detergents.. Any ideas on the cause, or a solution?

I would suggest changing your pillowcase everyday. If that's not possible teaching yourself to sleep on your back. Easier said than done but once I started sleeping on my back I experienced less breakouts. But just be on the safe side I do change my pillowcases everyday. Have you started using a different fabric softner? I had to stop using softners as well because it was causing me to break out all over.

yeah, I've tried changing everything. I suppose I'm going to have to buy more pillow cases so I don't have to wash the ones I have to death. I don't know if I could change my sleeping technique, I've been a side sleeper all my life, feels so nice to snuggle up to a pillow under my head and in my arms and one between my knees. its addictive! haha. I've tried switching sides each night, but I always default back to my left. Idk. lol
