Dermatologist access in Mississippi: among the fewest

Mississippi is among the states with the fewest dermatology providers per resident: 102 registered in the NPI registry, 3.5 per 100,000 residents, 46th of the 50 states and DC and 38% below the national rate of 5.5. Each one serves, on average, about 28,900 people. Matching the national rate would take about 164 providers for 2,951,438 residents, 62 more than Mississippi has.[NPI][ACS]

About 40% practice in the Jackson area, the largest metro; the other 60% are spread across the rest of Mississippi.[OMB][NPI]

Three of Mississippi's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Louisiana 5.1, Alabama 4.0, Tennessee 4.1 and Arkansas 3.1).[NPI][ACS]

Against the three states closest to it in population (Kansas: 2,937,569 residents, 4.1 per 100,000; Arkansas: 3,032,651 residents, 3.1 per 100,000; Nevada: 3,141,000 residents, 3.2 per 100,000), Mississippi has more providers per resident than two of them.[NPI][ACS]

Outside the Jackson 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.

These are dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, counted where they practice. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and dermatopathologists are left out, some listed providers no longer see patients, and the rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 population.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Mississippi

Mississippi recorded 33,473 births to residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), a birth rate of 11.4 per 1,000 residents. The fertility rate was 57.3 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 16th-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Louisiana 11.6, Alabama 11.2, Tennessee 11.6 and Arkansas 11.5.[NCHS]

Heavy shedding in the months after a birth is normal, not true hair loss, says the American Academy of Dermatology. It tends to be worst around month four and passes on its own; by the baby’s first birthday most women’s hair is as full as before.[1]

Two rules come first: no finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding. If thinning lasts past the baby’s first year, or your part keeps widening, a physician can check for female pattern hair loss. Once you are no longer breastfeeding, a physician may consider oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a prescription scalp spray made without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved).[2][3][4]

Mississippi by age: the years hair loss is common

Fewer of Mississippi's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 535,549 men aged 25 to 54, 37.4% of 1,431,521, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is Louisiana 38.6%, Alabama 37.8%, Tennessee 39.4% and Arkansas 37.9%.[ACS]

There are 476,368 women aged 40 to 64 here, 31.3% of all women in Mississippi (31.5% nationally). The American Academy of Dermatology says female pattern hair loss usually begins in a woman’s 40s, 50s or 60s, and is more common after menopause. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Louisiana 30.7%, Alabama 31.7%, Tennessee 31.8% and Arkansas 30.6% of all women.[5][ACS]

Nationally, androgenetic alopecia affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, and more than half of men over 50 have some hair loss. There is no state count, so this page does not estimate one.[6]
