Burning sensation in the area of my hair loss, will this effect me getting a hair transplant? (photo)

Hello. I currently am under a hair loss dermatologist’s care and taking oral minoxidil and Spironolactone. I most likely will have a transplant performed for the loss on the front top portion soon. My concern is I have been experiencing a burning sensation in that area where the most significant hair loss is and more shedding than normal as well. What good will it do to have a transplant performed when I still get these occasional flare ups? What can be causing the slight burning feeling?
