Postpartum shedding, Shreveport and Louisiana

53,305 babies were born to residents of Louisiana in 2024, about 146 a day; its birth rate, 11.6 per 1,000, was the 8th-highest (tied) of the 50 states and DC. For scale, 4.0% of Louisiana's residents live in Shreveport.[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 Shreveport: above the US rate

For its size, Shreveport is well supplied: 14 dermatology providers, or 7.6 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 for the US and 5.1 for Louisiana. That is one for about 13,100 residents.[NPI][ACS]

Widen the circle and the count grows: 19 in the city or within 10 miles, 19 within 25 miles. For the 374,881 people who live within 25 miles, that is 5.1 per 100,000.[NPI][ZCTA]

Of the 19 dermatology providers in the Shreveport-Bossier City area, 74% are in Shreveport itself. Caddo Parish, home to most of Shreveport, has 14 dermatology providers for 232,973 residents, 6.0 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Even where offices are close, an online visit for pattern hair loss fits around work and family without a waiting room. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, by practice address: in the city means the address names the city; the 10- and 25-mile counts add every provider whose ZIP code center lies that close. Dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted, and the rates use ACS 2019–2023 population.

Who pattern hair loss affects in Shreveport

Shreveport's median age is 37.5, close to Louisiana's 37.8. Men 40 and older number 39,258, or 21.4% of the city, less than Louisiana's 22.3%. By their 50s, more than half of men show some pattern hair loss.[5][ACS]

Shreveport has 22,855 women aged 45 to 64, 12.5% of its people, level with Louisiana. 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]
