Coming soonOily skin, clinically referred to as seborrhea, is a dermatologic condition characterized by excessive sebum production due to hyperactive or hypertrophic sebaceous glands.
It primarily involves the integumentary system, most notably areas with high sebaceous gland density such as the face—particularly the forehead, nose, and chin—as well as the scalp, upper chest, and back.
While it can affect individuals of any age or sex, it peaks during adolescence and early adulthood under the influence of circulating androgens.
Clinically, it manifests as a persistent greasy or shiny cutaneous surface, enlarged facial pores, and an increased susceptibility to comedone formation, acne vulgaris, and seborrheic dermatitis.
