Finasteride does not stop hair loss. It is a drug that is used for treating androgenic alopecia in men. There is no cure for this.  Finasteride can sometimes stop hair loss but it is not a permanent solution.  You need to use the medication for at least 6 months to see some benefit.

If your doctor recommends a scalp biopsy then you may need a scalp biopsy. Scalp pain is not normal.  A biopsy may not be the ONLY test you need but is is one of the many test you may need to determine why you are having your issues.
