Could the recurring small blemishes on my cheeks be due to pillows or friction?

I am wondering if my daily habits can play a role in the recurring small breakouts on one cheek or specific areas. I have heard that even minor irritations, such as pillows or blankets touching the face, or the habit of resting my cheek on my hand, can affect the skin. I would like to know if such contact actually causes pores around the cheeks to become clogged or leads to the formation of small pimples.

When looking into skincare, people usually start by thinking about cosmetics or sebum issues, but would it be a good idea to also check for friction in daily life and hygiene conditions? I am wondering if simply changing my pillowcase frequently or reducing the habit of touching my face can make a difference.

If skin troubles recur only in specific areas, what do you check first in your skincare routine? I think reducing repetitive irritation might be the priority, rather than simply removing sebum or dead skin cells.

I would also like to know if explaining the location of my skin troubles and my lifestyle habits during a dermatologist consultation helps in choosing a management method.
