Feedback:
Econazole can cause intense local burning and irritation in treatment of tinea infections. Butoconazole is used to treat vaginal Candida infections. Ciclopirox is used to treat toenail and fingernail tinea infections and does not produce intense burning and irritation. Haloprogin is used to treat athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm infections and is not associated with burning or irritation.
