Men and women in Frederick at the ages hair thins

Frederick is younger than Maryland as a whole, with a median age of 37.1 against 39.3. There are 17,081 men 40 or older in Frederick (21.2% of residents; less than Maryland's 23.0%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[1][ACS]

9,850 women are 45 to 64, 12.2% of residents, less than Maryland's 13.6%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[2][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.[1]

Dermatologist access in Frederick: above the US rate

For its size, Frederick is well supplied: 6 dermatology providers, or 7.4 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 for the US and 6.5 for Maryland. Each serves, on average, about 13,400 people who live in the city.[NPI][ACS]

The wider area is thinly supplied: 39 dermatology providers within 25 miles of Frederick, 3.9 per 100,000 of the 1,007,268 people living there, 7 of them in the city or within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Frederick is one part of the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria area, where 424 dermatology providers practice; 1% of them are in the city. Frederick County, home to most of Frederick, has 8 dermatology providers for 280,341 residents, 2.9 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Where local dermatology offices are fewer, as in Frederick, an online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any address. Sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, is for a dermatologist in person.

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.

After a baby: hair shedding near Frederick

Maryland recorded 65,797 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 10.5 per 1,000 residents, the 28th-highest of 51. Frederick's 80,617 residents are 1.3% of Maryland's 6,170,738.[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.[3]

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.[4][5][6]
