    Sebaceous glands are small oil-producing glands located in the skin of mammals. They secrete an oily substance called sebum, which helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair. These glands are typically found in high concentrations on the face and scalp, and their activity can influence conditions like acne and seborrheic dermatitis.
