OK heres my guess:
Sebaceous Gland - produces sebum ( secreted through a hair folicle) lubricates and softens the skin and hair.
Sweat glands - regulate body temperature through evaperation of sweat through the skin.
Am I right?

i came up with three glands in the dermis
sweat gland which are eccrine glands
Eccrine sweat glands are distributed over the entire body surface but are particularly abundant on the palms of hands, soles of feet, and on the forehead. These produce sweat that is composed chiefly of water with various salts. These glands are used for body temperature regulation.
Appocrine glands
Apocrinesweatglands develop during the early to mid puberty ages approximately around the age of 15 and release more than normal amounts of sweat for approximately a month and subsequently regulate and release normal amounts of sweat after a certain period of time. They are located wherever there is body hair.
These glands produce sweat that contains fatty materials. Mainly present in the armpits and around the gential area, their activity is the main cause of sweat odor, due to the bacteria that break down the organic compounds in the sweat
Sebacecous glands
these secrete oily substance called sebum
this is made of fat and debris of dead fat producing cells these glands are found through the skin except in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

Eccrine glands - over most parts of the body - respond to heat to maintain body temperature
Apocrine glands - found in armpit, nipples and groin areas. Controlled by hormones.

yes, apocrine glands are found in the underarm and groin regions, ans secrete a milky substance composed of fats which secrete an odour when on the skin. They can be stimulated by arousal also.
There are three glands in the dermis, but i was meant to have asked for the two sweat glands.
