Dermatologist access in New Mexico: among the fewest

Only one of the 50 states and DC has fewer dermatology providers per resident than New Mexico. Its 66 providers in the NPI registry come to 3.1 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 nationally. Each one serves, on average, about 32,000 people. At the national rate, New Mexico's 2,114,768 residents would have about 117; it has 51 fewer.[NPI][ACS]

65% of those providers practice in the Albuquerque area, leaving 35% for everywhere else in New Mexico.[OMB][NPI]

Each of New Mexico's four nearest states has more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Arizona 5.8, Colorado 6.2, Utah 6.3 and Wyoming 3.3).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Nebraska (84 providers, 4.3 per 100,000), Idaho (70 providers, 3.7 per 100,000) and West Virginia (57 providers, 3.2 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

Far from the Albuquerque area, a dermatology office may be a longer trip; an online intake for pattern hair loss is the same from any town in New Mexico. 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.

After a baby: hair shedding in New Mexico

In 2024, 21,328 babies were born to residents of New Mexico, roughly 58 every day. The birth rate, 10.0 per 1,000 residents, was the 35th-highest (tied) of the 50 states and DC. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 51.9 births, the 36th-highest fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Arizona 10.4, Colorado 10.8, Utah 13.3 and Wyoming 10.4.[NCHS]

The American Academy of Dermatology describes shedding after childbirth (telogen effluvium) as normal and temporary. It usually peaks about four months after giving birth, and most women see their hair return to its normal fullness by their child’s first birthday.[1]

Thinning that outlasts the baby’s first year, or a part that keeps getting wider, is worth a physician’s look for female pattern hair loss. After breastfeeding ends, the options a physician may weigh are oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or a scalp spray mixed without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved). Finasteride and spironolactone are never suggested to anyone who is pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and minoxidil tablets should not be taken while breastfeeding.[2][3][4]

Who pattern hair loss affects in New Mexico

Fewer of New Mexico's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 396,946 men aged 25 to 54, 37.8% of 1,050,368, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is Arizona 38.8%, Colorado 43.4%, Utah 39.7% and Wyoming 38.0%.[ACS]

323,104 women are 40 to 64, 30.4% of New Mexico's women and below the national 31.5%: the midlife years when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss usually begins. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are Arizona 30.1%, Colorado 31.1%, Utah 26.8% and Wyoming 30.5% 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]
