seborrhoea information ..
description ..
Seborrhoea is a condition that is the result of over-activity of the secretion of the sebaceous glands when excessive oiliness appears on the skins surface. the normally affected areas are scalp, face, centre of the chest and back. More often than not, during puberty the activity of the glands is increased due to hormonal changes, and the sebaceous gland duct and their follicles become enlarged, the skin becomes coarser , and open pores are evident. The excessive oily secretion blocks the outward flow of sebum to the surface, and it becomes lodged in the follicle and sebaceous duct. The retained sebum increases in amount, and the external area hardens and becomes overlaid with epidermal cells to form a comedone (blackhead). Seborrhoea is the basis of several skin diseases, particularly acne vulgaris.
