Oil-producing glands are called sebaceous glands. These are small exocrine gland in the skin that opens into hair follicles to secrete sebum. They are present in large numbers in the face, scalp, and skin. Meibomian glands are a type of sebaceous glands present on the eyelids, and they secrete sebum into tears.

Excess production of sebum causes acne, hyperplasia, and sebaceous adenoma.
