What hormone or organ is responsible for regulating the oil secreting gland? very important question for me.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin Oil Production: The sebaceous glands are microscopic glands in the skin that secrete an oily/waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair of mammals. In humans, they are found in greatest abundance on the face and scalp, though they are distributed throughout all skin sites except the palms and soles.
