Motley and Finlay's study of 100 patients showed that: 62% would pay 100 pounds for a cure; 87% would prefer a cure over a gift of 500 pounds; the amount of money patients were willing to pay for a cure did not change in relation to the severity of their skin disease. The study demonstrates that self-perception of rosacea and the desire for its treatment are not linked to its severity but to the presence of underlying psychological factors.
