Dermatologists in Alexandria: more per resident than the US

19 dermatology providers in the NPI registry give an office address in Alexandria. Per 100,000 residents that is 12.1, above the national 5.5 and above Virginia's 5.5. Each serves, on average, about 8,300 people who live in the city.[NPI][ACS]

Within 25 miles of Alexandria there are 380 dermatology providers for 4,903,260 residents (7.7 per 100,000), a dense supply; 153 are in the city or within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Most dermatology care in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metro area is elsewhere: Alexandria has 4% of the area's 424 providers.[NPI][OMB]

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

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 Alexandria

In 2024, 94,054 babies were born to residents of Virginia, roughly 257 a day, a birth rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents. Alexandria's 156,788 residents are 1.8% of Virginia's 8,657,499.[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.[1]

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.[2][3][4]

Men and women in Alexandria at the ages hair thins

Half of Alexandria's residents are older than 37.5 (38.8 statewide). There are 33,897 men 40 or older in Alexandria (21.6% of residents; less than Virginia's 23.1%), 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 19,662 in Alexandria (12.5% of residents; less than Virginia's 13.0%). 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]
