Question

State whether true or false:

When excess sebum in the skin undergoes oxidation, pimples would be formed on the skin.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

When excess sebum secreted by overactive sebaceous glands undergoes oxidation by exposure to air, the melanin and sebum cause blackheads. Pimples are usually the result of a bacterial infection of overactive sebaceous glands in the skin. They appear like boils on the skin.
