Talk:Sebaceous gland

message: Have reverted the last edit:
* Sorry for the shock
* Am trying to place important disorders in subsections, so that it can localise future editing (ie editing in the next 4-5 years)
* Edit removes details about the role of hormones and androgenns
* Edit also implies propionibacterium acnes may occur but does not directly state that this is implicated in the development of acne (which is, in my understanding, a matter of more consensus that the mite hypothesis).
Kind regards, --LT910001 (talk) 22:15, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reversion 

message: This article is very close to GA standards.  A short list we need to get finished:
*  Finish citing statements
*  Complete a brief 'history' section (who named/first noted the gland, who noted its relevance in acne, etymology)
Questions:
*  Should we remove the reference to the mite in the acne section and/or other primary research if present?
And... I think that's it. Anything missing? 
* Ping to , who's also been working on the article.

message: "Some hormones, including androgens such as testosterone and estrogen, as well as progesterone, increase the rate of sebum secretion.[15]"
This is completely wrong, Testosterone and Progesterone ARE actually known to stimulate sebaceous production,
but estrogen is NOT !
In addition, in the source you cited (Davidson's principles etc.) at p.1267 and 1268 there's no mention of Estradiol
or Estrogen as a cause for acne, instead the EXACT OPPOSITE IS TOLD !
Please fix it !  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.45.122.180 (talk) 13:06, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Sebaceous glands are microscopic exocrine glands in the skin that secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair of mammals.
It sounds a bit weird because human skin is still waterproof in the absence of sebum. --Envisaging tier (talk) 13:04, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
