Dermatologist access in Maryland: above average

Maryland's 402 registered dermatology providers come to 6.5 per 100,000 people, well above the 5.5 national rate (10th of 51). That works out to one dermatology provider for about 15,400 residents. At the national rate, Maryland's 6,170,738 residents would have about 342; it has 60 more.[NPI][ACS]

The Baltimore-Columbia-Towson area, the largest metro here, holds 48% of them. 52% practice elsewhere in Maryland.[OMB][NPI]

One of Maryland's four nearest states has more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: the District of Columbia 12.6, Delaware 3.9, Pennsylvania 6.2 and Virginia 5.5).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Missouri (319 providers, 5.2 per 100,000), Wisconsin (351 providers, 6.0 per 100,000) and Colorado (362 providers, 6.2 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

Outside the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson 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.

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.

After a baby: hair shedding in Maryland

In 2024, 65,797 babies were born to residents of Maryland, roughly 180 every day. The birth rate, 10.5 per 1,000 residents, was the 28th-highest of the 50 states and DC. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 53.3 births, the 30th-highest (tied) fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: the District of Columbia 10.8, Delaware 10.0, Pennsylvania 9.7 and Virginia 10.7.[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]

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]

Who pattern hair loss affects in Maryland

Of Maryland's 6,170,738 residents, 1,196,935 are men aged 25 to 54, 39.9% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is the District of Columbia 50.2%, Delaware 36.9%, Pennsylvania 38.4% and Virginia 40.1%.[ACS]

Women 40 to 64 number 1,041,847 in Maryland, or 32.9% 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 the District of Columbia 26.8%, Delaware 32.3%, Pennsylvania 31.8% and Virginia 32.2% 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]
