Who pattern hair loss affects in Appleton

Appleton's median age is 36.9, below Wisconsin's 40.1: a younger city than its state. 16,468 men aged 40 and older live here, 22.0% of all residents, less than Wisconsin's 24.5%. Pattern hair loss in men becomes more common with age; more than half of men over 50 have some.[1][ACS]

Appleton has 8,807 women aged 45 to 64, 11.8% of its people, less than Wisconsin's 12.9%. For most women, pattern thinning begins in their 40s, 50s or 60s, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.[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]

Dermatologists in Appleton: more per resident than the US

5 dermatology providers in the NPI registry give an office address in Appleton. Per 100,000 residents that is 6.7, above the national 5.5 and above Wisconsin's 6.0. That is one for about 15,000 residents.[NPI][ACS]

Even counting 25 miles out, there are 19 dermatology providers for 567,957 residents, 3.3 per 100,000, below the national rate; 13 are within 10 miles.[NPI][ZCTA]

Appleton holds 56% of the 9 dermatology providers in the Appleton metro area; the rest practice in its other towns.[NPI][OMB]

With fewer dermatology offices in Appleton, an online visit for pattern hair loss is one more way to be seen without a wait for a local appointment slot. Sudden or patchy hair loss, or a sore, red or scaly scalp, is for a dermatologist in person.

The NPI registry (October 23, 2026) lists where each dermatology provider practices. A provider counts in the city when the practice address names it, and within 10 or 25 miles by the center of the practice ZIP code. Not counted: physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dermatopathologists. Rates divide by ACS 2019–2023 residents.

Hair shedding after pregnancy in Appleton

In 2024, 59,686 babies were born to residents of Wisconsin, roughly 163 a day, a birth rate of 10.0 per 1,000 residents. For scale, 1.3% of Wisconsin's residents live in Appleton.[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.[3]

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.[4][5][6]
