The internet survey will ask them how often they have used their medication that week, as well as giving them treatment tips and reminders about rosacea triggers. They will be asked a variety of questions during the weekly internet survey- such as the amount of erythema they currently have (measured by VAS scale), how much burning and stinging they have, how often they have used the medication and where did they apply the medication, as well as any additional side effects they may be having from the medication.
Topical drug and standard of care follow-up, no weekly survey; only survey during 3 month and 6 month visits
