Sebaceous glands are small, oil-producing glands located in the skin, primarily associated with hair follicles. Their main function is to secrete an oily substance called sebum, which helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair, preventing dryness and providing a barrier against bacteria. Sebum also plays a role in maintaining skin hydration and regulating the skin's pH balance. These glands are most abundant on the scalp, face, and upper body.
