What are the side affects of sclerosing a seroma? (photos)

victorious.one
My PS used a sclerosant of 96% alcohol to get rid of a seroma at 32 days PO of TT. Within a week I had fluid pouring out and felt an abscess. My PS cleaned out wound & dead tissue. I now have a large hole in my abdomen due to the sclerosant burning through my tissue. Is this a normal complication? My PS has me packing wound with saline gauze twice a day but I see no new tissue growth. I'm scared and am constantly worried & feel depressed. Need advice on how to approach my PS on better wound care
