  1. sebaceous follicle

    A sebaceous follicle is a small sac-like structure located in the dermis layer of the skin, which produces and secretes sebum, an oily substance that helps to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. This follicle is attached to hair follicles in the skin, and the sebum it produces helps to provide a protective barrier against external environmental factors. Overactivity or blockage of sebaceous follicles can lead to skin conditions like acne.
