Dermatologist access in Florida: among the most

Florida ranks 8th of the 50 states and DC for dermatology access: 1,463 dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry, 6.7 for every 100,000 residents, against 5.5 nationally. Put another way, roughly 15,000 residents of Florida share each one. Matching the national rate would take about 1,217 providers for 21,928,881 residents, 246 fewer than Florida has.[NPI][ACS]

No single metro holds most of them. Even the largest, Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, has 37%, so dermatology offices are spread across several parts of Florida.[OMB][NPI]

Florida has more dermatology providers per resident than any of its four nearest states (per 100,000: South Carolina 4.9, Georgia 3.9, Alabama 4.0 and North Carolina 5.5).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (New York: 19,872,319 residents, 7.0 per 100,000; Texas: 29,640,343 residents, 4.6 per 100,000; Pennsylvania: 12,986,518 residents, 6.2 per 100,000), Florida has more providers per resident than two of them.[NPI][ACS]

Wherever you live in Florida, an online visit for pattern hair loss works the same way. Hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly, is best seen by a dermatologist in person.

About the count: dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry (October 23, 2026), by practice location, without dermatopathologists, physician assistants or nurse practitioners. A registry is not a workforce survey, and ACS 2019–2023 population is the denominator.

Florida by age: the years hair loss is common

Of Florida's 21,928,881 residents, 4,133,080 are men aged 25 to 54, 38.4% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is South Carolina 37.7%, Georgia 40.1%, Alabama 37.8% and North Carolina 39.1%.[ACS]

Women 40 to 64 number 3,591,855 in Florida, or 32.2% of its women against 31.5% for the US. For most women, says the American Academy of Dermatology, pattern thinning starts in midlife and becomes more common after menopause. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are South Carolina 31.8%, Georgia 32.1%, Alabama 31.7% and North Carolina 32.1% of all women.[1][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.[2]

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Florida

Births are fewer here than in most states: 224,389 to residents of Florida in 2024, a rate of 9.6 per 1,000 residents, the 7th-lowest (tied) of the 50 states and DC. The fertility rate was 52.2 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 34th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: South Carolina 10.7, Georgia 11.3, Alabama 11.2 and North Carolina 11.1.[NCHS]

Shedding after a baby is common. Dermatologists call it telogen effluvium: it tends to peak around four months after birth and is temporary, and for most women hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[3]

Finasteride and spironolactone are never suggested to anyone who is pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and minoxidil tablets should not be taken while breastfeeding. 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).[4][5][6]
