Summary
This study tested whether weekly digital surveys and a skin hydration monitor could help people with rosacea use their ivermectin cream more consistently. Thirty adults with rosacea were given ivermectin and split into groups: some received no extra support, some got weekly digital check-ins, and others used a device to measure skin moisture. The goal was to see if these tools improve adherence and prevent rosacea from coming back.
