Is that normal the wound keep wet and let him dry it by tissue every few hours? That is the process?

The wound really should not be so wet at 5 weeks.
This is not normal and can be due to a few reasons:
1. Factors delaying wound healing - example Diabetes, skin issues like eczema or dry skin, nutritional deficiencies etc
2. Wound infection
3. Wound dehiscence - this is when the wound re-opens again after the SR has been removed. This is most commonly caused by a strong erection
Your friend should go back to his Doctor for a check up
If he does not wish to, tell him to do this:
Go to a pharmacy and buy gauze, iodine and Tegaderm
Use the gauze to gently pat on iodine to the wound. Allow the iodine to dry. Then apply the Tegaderm (looks like sticky Glad Wrap) directly onto the wound. Leave the Tegaderm on for 2 days then repeat the process.
He should see new skin growing over the wound within 2 weeks.
