Dover by age: the years hair loss is common

Dover is younger than Delaware as a whole, with a median age of 35.1 against 41.5. There are 7,502 men 40 or older in Dover (19.0% of residents; less than Delaware's 24.2%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[1][ACS]

4,596 women are 45 to 64, 11.6% of residents, less than Delaware's 13.5%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[2][ACS]

Nobody counts pattern hair loss city by city. Across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, so this page gives ages, not an estimate.[1]

Dermatologist access in Dover: close to the US rate

At 5.1 per 100,000 residents, Dover's 2 dermatology providers put it near the US rate of 5.5; Delaware as a whole has 3.9. Roughly 19,700 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

The wider area is thinly supplied: 4 dermatology providers within 25 miles of Dover, 1.1 per 100,000 of the 358,891 people living there.[NPI][ZCTA]

Of the 2 dermatology providers in the Dover area, 100% are in Dover itself. Kent County, home to most of Dover, has 2 dermatology providers for 185,043 residents, 1.1 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Where local dermatology offices are fewer, as in Dover, an online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any address. In-person dermatology is still the place for sudden or patchy loss and a sore, red or scaly scalp.

About these counts: NPI registry dermatology providers (October 23, 2026), placed by the city on their practice address and, for the 10- and 25-mile circles, by the center of their ZIP code. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and dermatopathologists are left out; a registry is not a workforce survey; residents are ACS 2019–2023.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Dover

Delaware recorded 10,550 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 10.0 per 1,000 residents, the 35th-highest (tied) of 51. Dover's 39,491 residents are 3.9% of Delaware's 1,005,872.[NCHS][ACS]

Shedding after a baby (telogen effluvium) is common: it tends to peak around four months after birth and passes, and by the first birthday most women see their hair return to normal fullness, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[3]

If thinning outlasts that first year, a physician licensed in Delaware can look for female pattern hair loss. Finasteride and spironolactone are never suggested during pregnancy, when trying to conceive or while breastfeeding, and minoxidil tablets are not taken while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
