It's completely normal to have a creamy excretion in there - this is where they store the poos that they eat to keep htier gut healthy. It should only need cleaning out if he suffers from impaction, when the sac doesn't expel the poos anymore and it builds into a clodge that he will need help removing.

See this link for a very graphic explanation on impaction and cleaning boys bits.
