Hair transplant hair follicle damage. (photos)

I got 2 kind of swollen abscess on my head in transplanted hair area. I got it checked out by my doctor today and he said it was an abscess and he prescribed me antibiotics and said to see a dermatologist next week. I was wondering if this will cause any damage to the transplanted hair if taken care of early. Also just for my knowledge does a abscess form to indicate an infection or is it the middle stages of an infection. Thanks in advance.
