    GlossarySebocyte Proliferation

    increase in oil-producing skin cells' multiplication

    Sebocyte proliferation refers to the process by which sebocytes, the cells that make up the sebaceous glands in the skin, multiply and increase in number. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance that helps keep the skin moisturized. An increase in sebocyte proliferation can lead to conditions like acne due to excess sebum production.
