After a baby: hair shedding in Indiana

Indiana 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 80,257 babies born to residents of Indiana that year. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 59.1 births, the 8th-highest fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Illinois 9.9, Kentucky 11.5, Ohio 10.7 and Michigan 9.8.[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]

Dermatologist access in Indiana: below average

The NPI registry counts 255 dermatology providers in Indiana, 3.7 for every 100,000 residents. Nationally the figure is 5.5, so Indiana runs 33% below it (42nd of 51). Put another way, roughly 26,700 residents of Indiana share each one. At the national rate, Indiana's 6,811,752 residents would have about 378; it has 123 fewer.[NPI][ACS]

The Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood area, the largest metro here, holds 46% of them. 54% practice elsewhere in Indiana.[OMB][NPI]

Three of Indiana's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Illinois 5.7, Kentucky 3.7, Ohio 4.9 and Michigan 5.3).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Tennessee (286 providers, 4.1 per 100,000), Massachusetts (715 providers, 10.2 per 100,000) and Arizona (420 providers, 5.8 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

For people who live well outside the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood 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.

Who pattern hair loss affects in Indiana

Of Indiana's 6,811,752 residents, 1,294,050 are men aged 25 to 54, 38.3% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is Illinois 40.0%, Kentucky 38.7%, Ohio 38.3% and Michigan 37.9%.[ACS]

1,062,148 women are 40 to 64, 30.9% of Indiana's women and below the national 31.5%: the midlife years when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss usually begins. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Illinois 31.7%, Kentucky 31.8%, Ohio 31.5% and Michigan 31.8% of all women.[5][ACS]

Pattern hair loss can start as early as the teens and becomes more likely with age; across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women. There is no count by state, and this page does not guess one.[6]
