The 'Roid Scandal

Raymond's here! - Raymond's here!
Preparation H, the topical medication used to treat hemorrhoids, reportedly is catching fire as the latest "drug" to hit the New York City club scene.

New York bouncer, blogger and author Rob Fitzgerald said men are slathering up their torsos with the hemorrhoid cream to make themselves look "ripped".

The method has been used by body builders to fix problem areas before competitions and has been touted on the Internet for its ability to sculpt muscles of the chest and torso and even reduce puffiness around the eyes, according to the report.

It works by constricting the nearby blood vessels that surround the area. But the ingredient will shrink other tissue as well, hence its off-label use.
