TRUE, They're found almost all over your body; well, wherever you have hair, at least, while sebaceous follicles are found mostly on your face, back, chest, nipples and genital regions. These glands secrete oil directly onto the surface of the skin. Sweat glands can also be divided into two types

False.

Oil and sweat glands are located in the second layer of skin, called the Dermis layer. It’s a thick layer of skin right underneath the Epidermis. It contains blood vessels, sebaceous (oil glands), hair follicles, and that’s what 2nd degree burns would affect.
