Dermatologists in New York City: more per resident than the US

791 dermatology providers in the NPI registry give an office address in New York City. Per 100,000 residents that is 9.3, above the national 5.5 and above New York's 7.0. Roughly 10,800 residents share each one.[NPI][ACS]

Within 25 miles of New York City there are 1,161 dermatology providers for 14,075,420 residents (8.2 per 100,000), a dense supply; 806 are in the city or within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Pattern hair loss can be assessed online, from home in New York City. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, by practice address: in the city means the address names the city; the 10- and 25-mile counts add every provider whose ZIP code center lies that close. Dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted, and the rates use ACS 2019–2023 population.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in New York City

In 2024, 205,489 babies were born to residents of New York, roughly 561 a day, a birth rate of 10.3 per 1,000 residents. New York City holds 42.9% of the state's 19,872,319 people.[NCHS][ACS]

The American Academy of Dermatology says heavy shedding after a birth usually peaks about four months later, is temporary, and is not true hair loss; most women’s hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday.[1]

No finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding. After that, thinning that lasts past a year may be female pattern hair loss, which a physician can assess online.[2][3][4]

Who pattern hair loss affects in New York City

Half of New York City's residents are older than 38.0 (39.6 statewide). There are 1,851,355 men 40 or older in New York City (21.7% of residents; less than New York's 23.4%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[5][ACS]

Women aged 45 to 64 number 1,093,849 in New York City (12.8% of residents; less than New York's 13.3%). The American Academy of Dermatology says female pattern thinning usually starts in midlife and is more common after menopause.[6][ACS]

Those are age counts, not counts of hair loss: the only prevalence figures are national, an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the US.[5]
