Best would be to see the urology team who performed the procedure as they will be best to offer advise to ensure proper healing, rarely common complications may delay healing.

Agree with Dr. P. Your friend should apply triple antibiotic antibiotic ointment to the wound to promote healing by controlling infection, if any.

He should wear a support underwear so the penis does not move around. Also cover the area with a thick layer of Vaseline till it heals
