My kid age 2y3m - retract how far & adhesions ok?

My son is only 2 years and a bit old. The last few months he has started trying to retract his own foreskin and play with his penis.

He manages to expose part of the glans easily but not all the way back. I have now checked it a couple of times and this is what I observe:

(a) The skin is partly attached to the head but more on one side than the other.

(b) On the "attached side" I can see through the skin -- it is very thin -- and there are small (2mm across) areas of white stuff under the skin on the side where it won't come back any further.

What exactly should I be doing now? Worrying? Just pulling it back sometimes? or what?
