Dermatologist access in Idaho: among the fewest

Only seven of the 50 states and DC have fewer dermatology providers per resident than Idaho. Its 70 providers in the NPI registry come to 3.7 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 nationally. Put another way, roughly 27,000 residents of Idaho share each one. At the national rate, Idaho's 1,893,296 residents would have about 105; it has 35 fewer.[NPI][ACS]

The Boise City area, the largest metro here, holds 59% of them. 41% practice elsewhere in Idaho.[OMB][NPI]

Each of Idaho's four nearest states has more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Montana 5.3, Utah 6.3, Oregon 5.9 and Washington 5.8).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Nebraska (84 providers, 4.3 per 100,000), West Virginia (57 providers, 3.2 per 100,000) and New Mexico (66 providers, 3.1 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

Outside the Boise City area, the nearest dermatology office may be farther from home; an online visit for pattern hair loss does not depend on distance. In-person dermatology remains the place for sudden or patchy loss and for a sore, red or scaly scalp.

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.

After a baby: hair shedding in Idaho

Idaho has one of the higher birth rates in the country: 11.6 births per 1,000 residents in 2024, the 8th-highest (tied) of the 50 states and DC, with 23,276 babies born to residents of Idaho that year. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 58.6 births, the 11th-highest fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Montana 10.0, Utah 13.3, Oregon 9.1 and Washington 10.4.[NCHS]

The American Academy of Dermatology describes shedding after childbirth (telogen effluvium) as normal and temporary. It usually peaks about four months after giving birth, and most women see their hair return to its normal fullness by their child’s first birthday.[1]

If thinning lasts past the baby’s first year, or your part keeps widening, a physician can check for female pattern hair loss. Once you are no longer breastfeeding, a physician may consider oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a prescription scalp spray made without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved). While you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, finasteride and spironolactone are off the table, and minoxidil tablets are not taken during breastfeeding.[2][3][4]

Who pattern hair loss affects in Idaho

Fewer of Idaho's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 359,927 men aged 25 to 54, 37.8% of 952,080, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is Montana 37.2%, Utah 39.7%, Oregon 41.0% and Washington 42.2%.[ACS]

Women 40 to 64 number 278,270 in Idaho, or 29.6% 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 Montana 30.8%, Utah 26.8%, Oregon 31.5% and Washington 31.0% 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]
