What hormone influences the production of sebum?

Estrogen
Progesterone
Androgen
Insulin

The correct answer is: Androgen

Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. It helps keep the skin hydrated and protects it from external irritants. Androgens, such as testosterone, have been found to promote the production of sebum. Estrogen, on the other hand, can have the opposite effect and decrease sebum production. Progesterone and insulin do not directly influence sebum production. Therefore, the correct answer is C Androgen.
