Dermatologist access in Arkansas: among the fewest

Nowhere among the 50 states and DC has fewer dermatology providers per resident than Arkansas. Its 94 providers in the NPI registry come to 3.1 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 nationally. That works out to one dermatology provider for about 32,300 residents. At the national rate, Arkansas's 3,032,651 residents would have about 168; it has 74 fewer.[NPI][ACS]

The Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway area, the largest metro here, holds 45% of them. 55% practice elsewhere in Arkansas.[OMB][NPI]

Each of Arkansas's four nearest states has more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Oklahoma 3.7, Missouri 5.2, Kansas 4.1 and Mississippi 3.5).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Mississippi (102 providers, 3.5 per 100,000), Kansas (119 providers, 4.1 per 100,000) and Nevada (100 providers, 3.2 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

For people who live well outside the Little Rock-North Little Rock-Conway area, an online visit means no drive to a dermatology office for pattern hair loss. For sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, see a dermatologist in person.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry, by practice location, October 23, 2026; dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted. Rates use ACS 2019–2023 population: good for comparing states, not an exact current ratio.

After a baby: hair shedding in Arkansas

Arkansas has one of the higher birth rates in the country: 11.5 births per 1,000 residents in 2024, the 12th-highest (tied) of the 50 states and DC, with 35,395 babies born to residents of Arkansas that year. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 58.8 births, the 9th-highest (tied) fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Oklahoma 11.7, Missouri 10.9, Kansas 11.4 and Mississippi 11.4.[NCHS]

Many new mothers notice heavy shedding a few months after giving birth. The American Academy of Dermatology says it usually peaks about four months after birth, is temporary and is not true hair loss, and that most women see their hair return to its normal fullness by their child’s first birthday.[1]

When shedding has not settled after a year, or the part is widening, female pattern hair loss may be the cause. A physician can then consider, after breastfeeding, oral minoxidil, spironolactone or a scalp spray made without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved). Two rules come first: no finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding.[2][3][4]

Who pattern hair loss affects in Arkansas

Fewer of Arkansas's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 566,871 men aged 25 to 54, 37.9% of 1,495,958, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is Oklahoma 38.6%, Missouri 38.1%, Kansas 37.5% and Mississippi 37.4%.[ACS]

There are 470,674 women aged 40 to 64 here, 30.6% of all women in Arkansas (31.5% nationally). The American Academy of Dermatology says female pattern hair loss usually begins in a woman’s 40s, 50s or 60s, and is more common after menopause. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Oklahoma 29.7%, Missouri 31.0%, Kansas 29.7% and Mississippi 31.3% of all women.[5][ACS]

Those age counts are not counts of hair loss. The only figures are national: an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the US, with more than half of men over 50 showing some hair loss.[6]
