Brief Answer:
may be undescended testicle.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history it may be undescended testicle.

Please let me know does he has history of scrotal swelling, injury to genital area?

To confirm diagnosis I would suggest you to do ultrasound abdomen with scrotal area after detailed medical examination by pediatrician.

Let me know I can assist you further.

No, there was no scortal swelling or any injury. When I searched in Google I found about smegma peral. Pictures shown was similar to my son's problem. Does it need any treatment or does it goes its own.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

If possible kindly upload image. So I will get better idea.

Anyway kindly don't try to retract foreskin without pediatrician consultation. Don't use irritant soap.
