    Glossary Sebaceous Gland Atrophy

    shrinkage of oil-producing skin glands

    Sebaceous gland atrophy refers to the shrinkage or degeneration of the sebaceous glands, which are small oil-producing glands in the skin. This condition can lead to reduced sebum production, resulting in dry skin and potentially contributing to hair loss, as sebum plays a role in maintaining healthy hair and scalp.
