Hi! When you're at the computer, do you use the mouse with your right hand and have the left hand free? If you do, watch and pay attention carefully to where you rest your hand...you might be propping your left cheek up with it.
If that's not the explanation, most people have a side that is worse than the other. Mine was my right side.
Usually you'll see a difference in two weeks with an antibiotic. You definitely are, on the right side. The left side...I don't know why it would not be responding.
You might want to call your doc and say that the one side is getting worse.
It looks almost like you'd benefit from some benzoyl peroxide, only on the places that break out: your cheeks. BP acts as a topical bacterial killer.
Make sure you're only washing twice a day, and that you're using warm, not hot water.
Make sure you're also using a gentle skin cleanser, not one made for acne prone skin, and not one that has a scrub in it, and not one for 'oily' skin. Those can be too harsh for acne-prone skin.
Good luck!
