Article Abstract
Patient education has been transformed using digital media and online repositories which disseminate information with greater efficiency. In dermatology, this transformation has allowed for patients to gain education on common cutaneous conditions and improve health literacy. Xanthelasma palpebrarum is one of the most common cutaneous conditions, yet there is a poor understanding of how digital materials affect health literacy on this condition. Our study aimed to address this paucity of literature utilizing Brief DISCERN, Rothwell's Classification of Questions, and six readability calculations. The findings of this study indicate a poor-quality profile (Brief DISCERN < 16) regarding digital materials and readability scores which do not meet grade-level recommendations in the United States. This indicates a need to improve the current body of educational materials used by clinicians for diagnosing and managing xanthelasma palpebrarum.

Article Synopsis
- Xanthelasma palpebrarum is a common skin condition characterized by yellowish lesions, and while there are treatment options, they often face issues with recurrence and frequency.
- Researchers created a clinical scoring system based on the local injection of pingyangmycin, aimed at predicting treatment outcomes for patients with this condition.
- The study analyzed 246 patient cases and identified key risk factors, using statistical models to validate a new grading system that has shown promise for improving treatment approaches in future clinical practice.

- - This study investigates the safety and effectiveness of CO₂ laser excision as a treatment for large xanthelasma palpebrarum in 295 patients, who were followed for one year after the procedure.
- - Results showed over 99% clearance for most cases, with a 6.8% recurrence rate, particularly higher in lesions larger than 2 mm; reported complications included minor issues like scarring and skin discoloration.
- - The findings suggest that CO₂ laser excision is a precise and minimally invasive option for treatment, although more research is needed to enhance treatment approaches.
