What Causes A Rough Skin On The Head Of A Circumcised Penis?

My penis is circumcised and over the course of the years the skin on top of the head has increasingly become rougher. Is there way to safely exfoliate the skin so that it returns to a more natural, healthy state? Also, is this something that is common with circumcised penis'?
