TLDR Sebaceous glands are involved in various skin conditions and hair loss, with treatments ranging from topical creams to surgery.
The document reviewed the involvement of sebaceous glands in various pathologies, both primary and secondary. Primary conditions included steatocystoma simplex and multiplex, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, sebaceoma, sebaceous adenoma, sebaceous carcinoma, nevus sebaceus, and folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma. Secondary involvement was noted in acne vulgaris, seborrheic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments varied from topical retinoids and surgical excision for sebaceous gland hyperplasia to antifungal and anti-inflammatory therapies for seborrheic dermatitis. Androgenic alopecia resulted in diffuse hair thinning in females and balding in males due to hair follicle miniaturization.
