"Sebaceous Glands: Guardians of Skin and Hair Health"

Sebaceous glands are small glands found in the skin, particularly around hair follicles. They produce an oily substance called sebum, which moisturizes and protects the skin and hair. Sebaceous glands are present everywhere on the body except the palms and soles. They help prevent dryness, provide antimicrobial properties, and can be associated with conditions like acne or sebaceous cysts. Their main function is to keep the skin and hair healthy and nourished.
