Sebaceous glands acne
Sebum production from the sebaceous glands is the major cause of acne. Diet, cleanliness, genetics, hormones… They all play a role, but sebaceous galnds are the foundation for acne production.
Not surprisingly, most sebaceous glands are located on the face, back, chest, and scalp, which are the major locations where pimples like to hang out.
Sebum is a nasty mixture of fat and dead fat particles, which is why eating a healthy diet low in fat and saturated fat especially is very important.
In an article I wrote, what causes acne, I explained that sebum production starts in the pre-teen years, spikes in the mid teen years, and begins to dive in the later teen, early twenties. Which happens to coincide with acne production for most.
There is not much that you can do, treatment wise at least, to safely control your sebaceous glands. It is important, however, if you are suffering from acne to have a basic understanding on sebaceous glands. Knowing that sebum is made up of fat particles is important because it could spur you to start eating healthier!
