How common is it for a person to have strep throat in the summer?

I been feeling sick recently since last thursday and I think I have strep throat. I am going to see my doctor but I was just curious to hear how many people develop strep throat in the summer time? I thought it only happened during the cold season? I know it can spread when another person is coughing near you or if someone close to you has strep throat already.

Why will my chest acne not go away?

I've been soooo patient with the acne on my chest and I've done everything. I've seen a dermatologist, I'm taking minocycline, I'm using Retin-A, I've tried body washes. It's been about since March since I've been getting it and now it's summer time and I want to be able to wear normal low cut shirts. I seriously can not handle it any longer I feel depressed because it will just NOT go away. If you have any tips PLEASE help me it would mean a lot. Thank you.

Will proactiv work better for my skin type?

I have tiny little bumps on my face. It's not acne - it's like from a distance, I look fine but when you get close to me, you can see millions of little bumps and it looks really bad. Like I said, they're not pimples, they're just lots of tiny bumps. I was reading a lot of similar problems of people on Yahoo answers and one of the answerers said that Proactiv actually works better for this type of thing than severe acne. Is this true? Will proactiv be able to rid me of these tiny bumps? I also have oily skin, especially in the spring and summer time. I've realised that in the winter, my skin is kinda dry and I actually like that. Will proactiv also help control oil?

More details:
I'm a 15 year old female
I'm black
The temperature in my state isn't super cold or super hot
I haven't really used any acne treatments. I just wash my face regularly with "oil-free Neutrogena Acne Stress control"

How do I prevent acne after getting waxed?

I'm a pretty hairy guy but I like to keep it in check, especially during the summer time. So I recently got my back waxed and within 24hrs my back totally broke out and it was like 3 weeks of painful itchy acne. What can I do to prevent this? I want to get it waxed again but I certainly don't want this awful side-effect again.
Is there a specific soap or body wash I should use?

Now that the summer is approaching, I want my skin to stay clear and acne free!!Any tips or info I should know?

Last summer I broke out in moderate-severe acne (a lot of blocked pores on my forehead that lead to bigger ones) and then in the fall I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed me a cream. That was 7 months ago and my acne is gone, all I have left are a few fading pinkish scars that will go away eventually. But I'm worried that my acne will come back in the summer time again, and I cannot deal with that. I just can't.... any tips or info you know that will help me stay ACNE FREE?? Should I call my dermatologist and see what he says?

P.S. Having clear skin means a lot to me because I struggled horribly with it and it led me into depression and losing all my friends. I have picked myself back up and regained friends. I cannot get acne again....
