thank you for your query....
well from your history, it is a case of phimosis...
the treatment of choice in phimosis is circumcision....
as your kid is only 3years old, it is a good time to get operated...it is not a major operation but a very common paediatric surgery performed worldwide...
the white deposits as of now might be due to uncleanliness...
but phimosis may lead to urinary tract infections later and in some cases, cancer of the penis....
so an early circumcision is highly recommended...
hope this was helpful.....
