Which skin condition is NOT associated with the sebaceous gland?

Acne
Cholasma
Seborrhea
Folliculitis

The correct answer is: Cholasma

Cholasma, also known as melasma, is a skin condition characterized by brown or blue-gray patches on the skin, primarily on the face. This condition is not directly related to the function of the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for producing sebum (oil) that helps to protect and hydrate the skin. Acne, seborrhea, and folliculitis are all conditions that involve the sebaceous glands. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples. Seborrhea is a condition that involves excessive oil production and can result in greasy skin and dandruff. Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles, which can also be influenced by the presence of sebum. Therefore, cholasma stands apart from these other conditions, which are directly tied to sebaceous gland activity.
