A member asked:
What does it mean if sebaceous duct is blocked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sebaceous: Sebaceous usually refers to clinical description of skin products, not strictly oil glands, and hence blockage of hair follicles is equivalent to sebaceous duct blockage: Think acne, epidermal inclusion cyst.
