Dermatologist access in Newark: below the US rate

The NPI registry counts 3 dermatology providers in Newark. For 307,188 residents that is 1.0 per 100,000, under the US 5.5 and New Jersey's 5.2. Roughly 102,400 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Counting the area around it, 238 dermatology providers practice in Newark or within 10 miles, and 1,134 within 25 miles: 8.0 for every 100,000 people who live within 25 miles, well above the national rate.[NPI][ZCTA]

Newark is one part of the New York-Newark-Jersey City area, where 1,510 dermatology providers practice; 0% of them are in the city. Essex County, home to most of Newark, has 55 dermatology providers for 854,130 residents, 6.4 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Where local dermatology offices are fewer, as in Newark, an online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any address. In-person dermatology is still the place for sudden or patchy loss and a sore, red or scaly scalp.

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.

Men and women in Newark at the ages hair thins

Newark is younger than New Jersey as a whole, with a median age of 34.8 against 40.1. 61,313 men aged 40 and older live here, 20.0% of all residents, less than New Jersey's 23.9%. Pattern hair loss in men becomes more common with age; more than half of men over 50 have some.[1][ACS]

38,441 women are 45 to 64, 12.5% of residents, less than New Jersey's 13.7%: 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]

Postpartum shedding, Newark and New Jersey

New Jersey recorded 101,372 births to its residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), 10.7 per 1,000 residents, the 23rd-highest (tied) of 51. Newark holds 3.3% of the state's 9,267,014 people.[NCHS][ACS]

Shedding after a baby (telogen effluvium) is common: it tends to peak around four months after birth and passes, and by the first birthday most women see their hair return to normal fullness, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[3]

If thinning outlasts that first year, a physician licensed in New Jersey 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]
