Dermatologists in Laredo: fewer per resident than the US

Laredo has fewer dermatology providers per resident than the country: 2 in the NPI registry, 0.8 per 100,000 residents against 5.5 nationally and below Texas's 4.6. Each serves, on average, about 128,000 people who live in the city.[NPI][ACS]

Even counting 25 miles out, there are 2 dermatology providers for 266,762 residents, 0.7 per 100,000, below the national rate; 2 are within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Laredo anchors dermatology care in the Laredo metro area: 100% of the area's 2 providers practice in the city.[NPI][OMB]

With fewer dermatology offices in Laredo, an online visit for pattern hair loss is one more way to be seen without a wait for a local appointment slot. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

About these counts: NPI registry dermatology providers (October 23, 2026), placed by the city on their practice address and, for the 10- and 25-mile circles, by the center of their ZIP code. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners and dermatopathologists are left out; a registry is not a workforce survey; residents are ACS 2019–2023.

After a baby: hair shedding near Laredo

Births are counted by state, not by city. Texas has one of the higher birth rates in the country, 12.5 per 1,000 residents in 2024 (the 2nd-highest of 51), with 390,828 babies born to its residents. Laredo's 255,949 residents are 0.9% of Texas's 29,640,343.[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]

Men and women in Laredo at the ages hair thins

Laredo's median age is 29.7, below Texas's 35.5: a younger city than its state. There are 43,882 men 40 or older in Laredo (17.1% of residents; less than Texas's 21.1%), 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 27,719 in Laredo (10.8% of residents; less than Texas's 11.8%). 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]
