What kind of skin typically exhibits sebaceous hyperplasia?

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a skin condition characterized by small, soft bumps that can occur due to enlarged sebaceous glands. This condition is most commonly associated with oily skin because the overproduction of sebum (oil) can lead to the enlargement of these glands. Individuals with oily skin tend to have higher levels of sebaceous activity, which can cause the sebaceous glands to become more prominent and form the characteristic lesions of sebaceous hyperplasia.

While dry skin, sensitive skin, and combination skin can present various other concerns, they are less likely to exhibit sebaceous hyperplasia since they do not typically have the same level of sebaceous gland activity as oily skin. In these skin types, the production of sebum is either insufficient or variable, which helps differentiate them from oily skin where excess sebum is a key factor in the development of this condition.
