Dermatologist access in North Carolina: about average

North Carolina is close to average for dermatology access. The NPI registry has 581 dermatology providers practicing here, 5.5 per 100,000 residents next to 5.5 for the country, which ranks 22nd of 51. Each one serves, on average, about 18,200 people. At the national rate, North Carolina's 10,584,340 residents would have about 587; it has 6 fewer.[NPI][ACS]

Dermatology care in North Carolina is spread out: the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia area, the largest metro, has 22% of the providers.[OMB][NPI]

Two of North Carolina's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: South Carolina 4.9, Virginia 5.5, West Virginia 3.2 and the District of Columbia 12.6).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Georgia (422 providers, 3.9 per 100,000), Michigan (535 providers, 5.3 per 100,000) and Ohio (580 providers, 4.9 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

Online, the distance to the nearest office stops mattering anywhere in North Carolina. 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 North Carolina

In 2024, 122,856 babies were born to residents of North Carolina, roughly 336 every day. The birth rate, 11.1 per 1,000 residents, was the 19th-highest of the 50 states and DC. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 55.8 births, the 20th-highest fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: South Carolina 10.7, Virginia 10.7, West Virginia 9.6 and the District of Columbia 10.8.[NCHS]

Many new mothers notice heavy shedding a few months after giving birth. The American Academy of Dermatology says it usually peaks about four months after birth, is temporary and is not true hair loss, and that 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]

Of North Carolina's 10,584,340 residents, 2,026,916 are men aged 25 to 54, 39.1% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is South Carolina 37.7%, Virginia 40.1%, West Virginia 37.4% and the District of Columbia 50.2%.[ACS]

Women 40 to 64 number 1,736,434 in North Carolina, or 32.1% of its women against 31.5% for the US. For most women, says the American Academy of Dermatology, pattern thinning starts in midlife and becomes more common after menopause. In its nearest states, women 40 to 64 are South Carolina 31.8%, Virginia 32.2%, West Virginia 32.8% and the District of Columbia 26.8% 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]
