Michigan by age: the years hair loss is common

Fewer of Michigan's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 1,889,962 men aged 25 to 54, 37.9% of 4,982,079, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is Ohio 38.3%, Indiana 38.3%, Illinois 40.0% and Wisconsin 37.7%.[ACS]

Women 40 to 64 number 1,614,544 in Michigan, or 31.8% 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 Ohio 31.5%, Indiana 30.9%, Illinois 31.7% and Wisconsin 31.8% of all women.[1][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.[2]

Dermatologist access in Michigan: about average

At 5.3 dermatology providers per 100,000 residents, Michigan sits about at the national rate of 5.5: 535 providers in the NPI registry, 25th of the 50 states and DC. That works out to one dermatology provider for about 18,800 residents. Matching the national rate would take about 558 providers for 10,051,595 residents, 23 more than Michigan has.[NPI][ACS]

About 57% practice in the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn area, the largest metro; the other 43% are spread across the rest of Michigan.[OMB][NPI]

Two of Michigan's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Ohio 4.9, Indiana 3.7, Illinois 5.7 and Wisconsin 6.0).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (North Carolina: 10,584,340 residents, 5.5 per 100,000; Georgia: 10,822,590 residents, 3.9 per 100,000; New Jersey: 9,267,014 residents, 5.2 per 100,000), Michigan has more providers per resident than two of them.[NPI][ACS]

Outside the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn area, the nearest dermatology office may be farther from home; an online visit for pattern hair loss does not depend on distance. Hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly, is best seen by a dermatologist in person.

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.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Michigan

Births are fewer here than in most states: 99,525 to residents of Michigan in 2024, a rate of 9.8 per 1,000 residents, the 11th-lowest of the 50 states and DC. The fertility rate was 51.5 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 38th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Ohio 10.7, Indiana 11.6, Illinois 9.9 and Wisconsin 10.0.[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]

While you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, finasteride and spironolactone are off the table, and minoxidil tablets are not taken during 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]
