Maine by age: the years hair loss is common

Fewer of Maine's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 251,027 men aged 25 to 54, 37.0% of 678,363, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is New Hampshire 38.3%, Massachusetts 40.1%, Vermont 36.4% and Rhode Island 39.5%.[ACS]

There are 235,999 women aged 40 to 64 here, 33.8% of all women in Maine (31.5% nationally). The American Academy of Dermatology says female pattern hair loss usually begins in a woman’s 40s, 50s or 60s, and is more common after menopause. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are New Hampshire 34.2%, Massachusetts 32.5%, Vermont 32.9% and Rhode Island 32.4% of all women.[1][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.[2]

Dermatologist access in Maine: below average

Maine has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country as a whole: 66 in the NPI registry, or 4.8 per 100,000 residents, 14% under the national 5.5. It ranks 32nd of the 50 states and DC. Each one serves, on average, about 20,900 people. Matching the national rate would take about 76 providers for 1,377,400 residents, 10 more than Maine has.[NPI][ACS]

Most of them are in one place: 65% practice in the Portland-South Portland area. The remaining 35% serve the rest of Maine.[OMB][NPI]

Each of Maine's four nearest states has more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: New Hampshire 7.2, Massachusetts 10.2, Vermont 5.4 and Rhode Island 8.0).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (New Hampshire: 1,387,834 residents, 7.2 per 100,000; Hawaii: 1,445,635 residents, 5.5 per 100,000; Montana: 1,105,072 residents, 5.3 per 100,000), Maine has the fewest providers per resident.[NPI][ACS]

For people who live well outside the Portland-South Portland area, an online visit means no drive to a dermatology office for pattern hair loss. 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.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Maine

Births are fewer here than in most states: 11,601 to residents of Maine in 2024, a rate of 8.3 per 1,000 residents, the 2nd-lowest of the 50 states and DC. The fertility rate was 46.3 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 46th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: New Hampshire 8.4, Massachusetts 9.6, Vermont 7.7 and Rhode Island 9.0.[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]
