Does MPB cause burning sensation in thinning areas? Will finasteride help this eventually? (Photo)

Grail720
36/male - right side & directly in front thinning over the last 9 months; placed on 1mg fin 5 months ago. Since then the hairline has progressively thinned with hairs disappearing weekly; I also feel a BURNING sensation where i'm losing the hair. I've read conflicting things online, with some saying that's a symptom of mpb and others saying it's actually not. I don't use Rogaine as I fear it would make things worse (more loss); I only use fin which I've seen no progress or stoppage of hair loss yet,
