Hi I am doctor Fa him and I will help you with your problem can understand your feeling because acne is such a chronic disease that keeps on coming despite the best treatment. Nice to hear that its subsided. Boils behind ear are usually not related with acne. As you said that your doctor told you that its staph infection. Staphylococcus Aureus is the main bacteria found on over skin. Most skin infection is because of it. Its treatment is antibiotic cover along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. There is no surgery to completely eliminate this problem, rather it is reserved for complication of this problem if not responding to medications. It can be prevented by maintaining good hygiene, some routine investigation like plasma glucose level and blood complete picture to know about the underlying disease. I hope it will help you, do rate my answer if you like it. Regards
