Dermatologists in Silver Spring: a regional center

Silver Spring draws dermatology care from well beyond its limits: 13 dermatology providers practice here, 15.8 per 100,000 residents, 2.9 times the US 5.5 and above Maryland's 6.5. Each serves, on average, about 6,300 people who live in the city.[NPI][ACS]

Counting the area around it, 204 dermatology providers practice in Silver Spring or within 10 miles, and 407 within 25 miles: 8.1 for every 100,000 people who live within 25 miles, well above the national rate.[NPI][ZCTA]

Silver Spring is one part of the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria area, where 424 dermatology providers practice; 3% of them are in the city. Montgomery County, home to most of Silver Spring, has 141 dermatology providers for 1,057,586 residents, 13.3 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

An online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any neighborhood of Silver Spring. In-person dermatology is still the place for sudden or patchy loss and a sore, red or scaly scalp.

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.

Silver Spring by age: the years hair loss is common

Silver Spring is younger than Maryland as a whole, with a median age of 35.2 against 39.3. Men 40 and older number 16,670, or 20.3% of the city, less than Maryland's 23.0%. By their 50s, more than half of men show some pattern hair loss.[1][ACS]

9,223 women are 45 to 64, 11.2% 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]

After a baby: hair shedding near Silver Spring

Maryland recorded 65,797 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 10.5 per 1,000 residents, the 28th-highest of 51. Silver Spring holds 1.3% of the state's 6,170,738 people.[NCHS][ACS]

The American Academy of Dermatology says heavy shedding after a birth usually peaks about four months later, is temporary, and is not true hair loss; most women’s hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday.[3]

Thinning that has not settled after a year, or a part that keeps widening, is worth a physician's look. The safety rules come first: finasteride and spironolactone are off the table in pregnancy, when trying to conceive and while breastfeeding, and so are minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
