Microscopic exocrine gland in the skin that secretes an oily or waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair of mammals
A sebaceous gland or oil gland is a microscopic exocrine gland in the skin that opens into a hair follicle to secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum, which lubricates the hair and skin of mammals. In humans, sebaceous glands occur in the greatest number on the face and scalp, but also on all parts of the skin except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Wikipedia
