Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this mixed up. I am sure he just tried saying that the deeper the abscess pocket the more concerning it is. However, what matters most is that it has been treated and healing would start. we are not talking of complications but healing at this time and that is the good news. do not let some of these medical reasoning disturb your quiet peace.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be and I will gladly respond to.
