Sebaceous glands

Microscopic skin structures responsible for sebum production. When these structures become clogged, sebum accumulates internally, creating a conducive environment for the proliferation of bacteria.


Small skin glands responsible for producing a lubricating substance known as sebum. Sebaceous glands release sebum either into hair follicles or directly onto the skin’s surface. These glands are most concentrated on the scalp, face, and anus, but are absent on the palms and soles of the feet. Imbalances in the function of these glands can result in conditions like seborrhoea or acne vulgaris.


Tiny glands located within the body’s skin that produce sebum, an oily substance. Sebum helps maintain the skin’s softness and flexibility while serving as a protective barrier.


Skin glands that secrete an oily substance known as sebum, which are the primary locations for acne lesions. Sebaceous glands are connected to hair follicles and are predominantly located on the face, neck, back, and chest.
