The skin of humans has two basic types of glands, sweat glands (sudoriferous) and oil glands (sebacious). The sweat glands come in two varieties, the eccrine glands produce sweat all over our bodies, but the apocrine glands only become active during puberty and give us body odor. These aromatic apocrine glands are concentrated in the armpits and the genital regions.
