South Carolina by age: the years hair loss is common
Fewer of South Carolina's men are in their prime working years than nationally: 956,426 men aged 25 to 54, 37.7% of 2,537,456, next to 39.7% for the US. In its nearest states the share is North Carolina 39.1%, Georgia 40.1%, Virginia 40.1% and Alabama 37.8%.[ACS]
Women 40 to 64 number 851,539 in South Carolina, or 31.8% 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 North Carolina 32.1%, Georgia 32.1%, Virginia 32.2% and Alabama 31.7% of all women.[1][ACS]
Those age counts are not counts of hair loss. The only figures are national: an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the US, with more than half of men over 50 showing some hair loss.[2]
Dermatologist access in South Carolina: below average
South Carolina has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country as a whole: 254 in the NPI registry, or 4.9 per 100,000 residents, 12% under the national 5.5. It ranks 31st of the 50 states and DC. Put another way, roughly 20,500 residents of South Carolina share each one. Matching the national rate would take about 289 providers for 5,212,774 residents, 35 more than South Carolina has.[NPI][ACS]
No single metro holds most of them. Even the largest, Greenville-Anderson-Greer, has 18%, so dermatology offices are spread across several parts of South Carolina.[OMB][NPI]
Two of South Carolina's four nearest states have more dermatology providers per resident (per 100,000: North Carolina 5.5, Georgia 3.9, Virginia 5.5 and Alabama 4.0).[NPI][ACS]
Against the three states closest to it in population (Alabama: 5,054,253 residents, 4.0 per 100,000; Minnesota: 5,713,716 residents, 6.7 per 100,000; Louisiana: 4,621,025 residents, 5.1 per 100,000), South Carolina has more providers per resident than one of them.[NPI][ACS]
An online visit reaches every part of South Carolina the same way. In-person dermatology remains the place for sudden or patchy loss and for a sore, red or scaly scalp.
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.
Hair shedding after pregnancy in South Carolina
South Carolina recorded 58,768 births to residents in 2024 (final NCHS data), a birth rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents. The fertility rate was 55.5 births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, the 23rd-highest of 51. Birth rates in its nearest states: North Carolina 11.1, Georgia 11.3, Virginia 10.7 and Alabama 11.2.[NCHS]
Shedding after a baby is common. Dermatologists call it telogen effluvium: it tends to peak around four months after birth and is temporary, and for most women hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[3]
While you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, finasteride and spironolactone are off the table, and minoxidil tablets are not taken during breastfeeding. When shedding has not settled after a year, or the part is widening, female pattern hair loss may be the cause. A physician can then consider, after breastfeeding, oral minoxidil, spironolactone or a scalp spray made without finasteride (compounded, not FDA-approved).[4][5][6]
