A skin condition characterized by enlargement or inflammation of sweat and sebaceous glands in the skin.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'derma' (skin). This dermatological term emerged in the 19th century to describe various skin conditions where glands become abnormally enlarged or active, combining Greek anatomical terms.
Adenodermia reminds us that your skin is packed with thousands of tiny glands working constantly—when they go haywire, you get visible lumps, oily skin, or inflammation, making glandular disease something you can actually see and feel.
