Which of the following is not a disorder related to the sebaceous glands?

Acne
Seborrhea
Hyperhidrosis
Millia

The correct answer is: Hyperhidrosis

The correct response is based on the nature of hyperhidrosis, which is a condition characterized by excessive sweating and is not directly associated with the sebaceous glands. The primary function of sebaceous glands is to produce sebum, an oily substance that helps moisturize and protect the skin. Acne, seborrhea, and millia are all conditions linked to the sebaceous glands. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, often leading to inflammation and infection. Seborrhea is marked by an overproduction of sebum, which can result in oily skin and dandruff. Millia, which appear as small white cysts, can also be related to disturbances in the sebaceous glands, particularly when keratin becomes trapped in the skin. Thus, understanding that hyperhidrosis deals with sweat glands rather than sebaceous glands clarifies why this option stands apart from the others as not being a disorder related to sebaceous glands.
