Repeated Insult Patch Test
During the Induction Phase, participants received 0.2 g Butenafine HCl 1% covered by an occlusive patch on the upper back skin test site three times a week for a total of 9 applications. Prior to each patch application and after the last patch removal, the test sites were evaluated for gross changes according to the Erythemal Scoring Scale and if necessary the Additional Scoring system. After 14 days of Rest Phase, on the first day of Challenge Phase, participants received same procedure on original Induction Phase test site and on a virgin test site. The patches were removed and the sites scored 48 hours after application and scored again at 96 hours after application. The test sites were evaluated using the Induction Phase scoring system.
