About these counts: NPI registry dermatology providers (October 23, 2026), placed by the city on their practice address and, for the 10- and 25-mile circles, by the center of their ZIP code. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and dermatopathologists are left out; a registry is not a workforce survey; residents are ACS 2019–2023.

After a baby: hair shedding near Duluth

In 2024, 62,110 babies were born to residents of Minnesota, roughly 170 a day, a birth rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents. Duluth's 86,863 residents are 1.5% of Minnesota's 5,713,716.[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]

If thinning outlasts that first year, a physician licensed in Minnesota can look for female pattern hair loss. Finasteride and spironolactone are never suggested during pregnancy, when trying to conceive or while breastfeeding, and minoxidil tablets are not taken while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
