Source â patient. âSebumâ is the Latin word for âfatâ. It is the oily secretion of the Sebaceous Glands which keeps the hair and skin moisturized and prevents them from cracking, turning dry and getting brittle. The sebum comprises of lipids, wax and clusters of dead fat-producing cells.
The development and function of the sebaceous gland in the fetal and neonatal periods appear to be regulatedby maternal androgens and by endogenous steroid synthesis, as well as by other morphogens. The most apparent function of theglands is to excrete sebum. A strong increase in sebum excretion occurs a few hours after birth; this peaks during the first weekand slowly subsides thereafter. A new rise takes place at about age 9 years with adrenarche and continues up to age 17 years, whenthe adult level is reached.
