Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Good day, it is hard to tell but since this is happening on one side, I would bet that you may have reactivation of zoster or herpes virus. Next time this happens have it looked at by a doctor as antivirals will help curb this from happening if this is the herpes. I hope this answers your question. Good luck.
