Pittsburgh, a center for dermatology care

The NPI registry lists 68 dermatology providers with an office in Pittsburgh, 22.4 for every 100,000 residents: 4.0 times the national rate of 5.5 and above Pennsylvania's 6.2. That is one for about 4,500 residents.[NPI][ACS]

Within 10 miles of the city there are 73 dermatology providers, and within 25 miles 120, about 6.4 per 100,000 of the 1,870,192 residents in that radius.[NPI][ZCTA]

Pittsburgh holds 55% of the 124 dermatology providers in the Pittsburgh metro area; the rest practice in its other towns. Across Allegheny County the figure is 8.2 per 100,000: 102 providers for 1,240,476 residents.[NPI][OMB]

An online intake for pattern hair loss works the same from any neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, is for a dermatologist in person.

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.

Pittsburgh by age: the years hair loss is common

Pittsburgh's median age is 33.5, below Pennsylvania's 40.9: a younger city than its state. Men 40 and older number 57,350, or 18.9% of the city, less than Pennsylvania's 24.4%. By their 50s, more than half of men show some pattern hair loss.[1][ACS]

30,803 women are 45 to 64, 10.1% of residents, less than Pennsylvania's 13.1%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[2][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.[1]

Postpartum shedding, Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's birth rate is among the lower ones, 9.7 per 1,000 residents in 2024; that was still 127,299 babies born to its residents, about 348 a day. Pittsburgh holds 2.3% of the state's 12,986,518 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]

Thinning that has not settled after a year, or a part that keeps widening, is worth a physician's look. The safety rules come first: finasteride and spironolactone are off the table in pregnancy, when trying to conceive and while breastfeeding, and so are minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding.[4][5][6]
