Hair shedding after pregnancy in Boise

23,276 babies were born to residents of Idaho in 2024, about 64 a day; its birth rate, 11.6 per 1,000, was the 8th-highest (tied) of the 50 states and DC. For scale, 12.4% of Idaho's residents live in Boise.[NCHS][ACS]

Many new mothers notice clumps of hair coming out a few months after delivery. Dermatologists say it peaks about four months after birth and is temporary, with fullness usually back by the baby’s first birthday.[1]

No finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding. After that, thinning that lasts past a year may be female pattern hair loss, which a physician can assess online.[2][3][4]

Dermatologist access in Boise: close to the US rate

At 6.4 per 100,000 residents, Boise's 15 dermatology providers put it near the US rate of 5.5; Idaho as a whole has 3.7. That is one for about 15,700 residents.[NPI][ACS]

Widen the circle and the count grows: 30 in the city or within 10 miles, 41 within 25 miles. For the 685,373 people who live within 25 miles, that is 6.0 per 100,000.[NPI][ZCTA]

The Boise City area has 41 dermatology providers, and 37% of them work in Boise. Ada County, home to most of Boise, has 38 dermatology providers for 508,052 residents, 7.5 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Pattern hair loss can be assessed online, from home in Boise. Sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, is for a dermatologist in person.

The NPI registry (October 23, 2026) lists where each dermatology provider practices. A provider counts in the city when the practice address names it, and within 10 or 25 miles by the center of the practice ZIP code. Not counted: physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dermatopathologists. Rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 residents.

Boise by age: the years hair loss is common

Boise's median age is 38.2, close to Idaho's 37.1. Men 40 and older number 54,445, or 23.1% of the city, more than Idaho's 22.9%. By their 50s, more than half of men show some pattern hair loss.[5][ACS]

Boise has 29,351 women aged 45 to 64, 12.5% of its people, more than Idaho's 11.5%. For most women, pattern thinning begins in their 40s, 50s or 60s, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[6][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.[5]
