Maybe winny?
I did winny, prop and I got broken out on my back & shoulders, what woudlyou guys say it is? the winny or the prop? I would say the prop. Is there anything less likely to make you break out?
I am thinking of throwing EQ in my next cycle.

Probably the testosterone that did it. It depends on how sensitive your androgen receptors are in your skin. Personally - I haven't had any problems with acne - or nothing to gripe about. I would say anything with high androgenic properties (as opposed to anabolic - growth) will give you more skin issues. Highly androgenic gear like tesoterone, Dianabol , trenbolone - this stuff will probably give you the most skin sides. Eq, Deca , Anavar , Primo - stuff that's more anabolic will give you more solid muscle growth with less androgenic sides... dose dependent of course.

I was running some pretty high doses of some highly androgenic substances this cycle and never saw a stich of acne. Now that I am starting clomid I am seeing a definate acne problem surface (more-so the first 3 days off of prop).

If it becomes a problem then seek a dermotologist. But I would never let any acne get in the way of more muscle mass. If you are acne prone then really you just have to deal with it... get a prescription for some treatments and GROW.

That pretty much somes up my experiences. Skin is fine while on - but when going off with Clomid... then I break out a bit. And it clears up after about a week or two...

BTW - here is a list comparing anabolic to androgenic properties (it seems each effect can very greatly between users depending on recepetor sensitivity):

Androgenic Functions
Initial growth of the penis (men) and clitoris (female)
Growth and development of the seminal vesicles (men)
Growth and development of the prostate gland (men)
Increased density of body hair
Development pattern of pubic hair
Increased density and distribution of facial hair
Deepening tone of the voice
Increased oil production of the subaceous glands
Increased libido and awakening of sexual interest (both sexes)
Certain "male" personality characteristics

Anabolic Functions
Increased skeletal muscle mass
Increased bone density
Increased hemoglobin concentration
Increased red blood cell mass
Enhancement of the immune system, especially T-lymphocytes
Influence on the distribution and quantity of body fat
Increased nitrogen retention and protein synthesis
Increased visceral organ size
Increased retention of several electrolytes
Increased height during puberty (synegism with growth hormone )
