Brief Answer:
Regarding thinning of hair

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Thinning is more likely due to associated androgenetic alopecia rather than due to underlying essential thrombocytopenia.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
