Dermatologist access in Pennsylvania: above average

Pennsylvania's 802 registered dermatology providers come to 6.2 per 100,000 people, a little above the 5.5 national rate (14th of 51). Put another way, roughly 16,200 residents of Pennsylvania share each one. At the national rate, Pennsylvania's 12,986,518 residents would have about 721; it has 81 more.[NPI][ACS]

The Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington area, the largest metro here, holds 51% of them. 49% practice elsewhere in Pennsylvania.[OMB][NPI]

Two of Pennsylvania's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: Delaware 3.9, Maryland 6.5, New Jersey 5.2 and New York 7.0).[NPI][ACS]

States of a similar size: Illinois (719 providers, 5.7 per 100,000), Ohio (580 providers, 4.9 per 100,000) and Georgia (422 providers, 3.9 per 100,000).[NPI][ACS]

Far from the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington area, a dermatology office may be a longer trip; an online intake for pattern hair loss is the same from any town in Pennsylvania. 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.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry, by practice location, October 23, 2026; dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted. Rates use ACS 2019–2023 population: good for comparing states, not an exact current ratio.

Who pattern hair loss affects in Pennsylvania

Of Pennsylvania's 12,986,518 residents, 2,454,790 are men aged 25 to 54, 38.4% of the state's men (39.7% nationally). In its nearest states the share is Delaware 36.9%, Maryland 39.9%, New Jersey 39.8% and New York 40.2%.[ACS]

2,091,895 women are 40 to 64, 31.8% of Pennsylvania's women and above 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 Delaware 32.3%, Maryland 32.9%, New Jersey 33.3% and New York 32.0% of all women.[1][ACS]

Pattern hair loss can start as early as the teens and becomes more likely with age; across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women. There is no count by state, and this page does not guess one.[2]

After a baby: hair shedding in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's birth rate is among the lowest in the country, 9.7 per 1,000 residents in 2024 (the 10th-lowest of 51). That still meant 127,299 babies born to residents of Pennsylvania, about 348 a day. Per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 there were 51.2 births, the 40th-highest fertility rate of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: Delaware 10.0, Maryland 10.5, New Jersey 10.7 and New York 10.3.[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.[3]

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). Two rules come first: no finasteride or spironolactone for anyone pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, and no minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
