Sebum is the oily substance generated by the sebaceous glands. It serves multiple purposes: lubricating the skin, maintaining its flexibility, and safeguarding it from excessive moisture or dryness, preventing bacterial and fungal growth. Androgen hormones influence sebum production. Excessive sebum secretion can result in oily skin and potentially trigger conditions like seborrhoeic dermatitis or acne.<\/p>\n
