Hi...by what you say this could be a smegmoma. This is accumulation of smegma in-between shaft of the penis and the overlying skin. Nothing to worry about it . On daily cleansing it will come out automatically. To prevent this from recurring, you need to retract his penile skin while bating him regularly.
