What Causes Dry And Tight Wrap Of Foreskin?

Hi, I have a really tight wrap of foreskin when erected with the head exposed causing cracks and white flakes on the shaft surrounding the head. I had rubbed and peeled them before only to make it worse, they seem to get drier. What is the worst diagnosis that it could be?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that the chances of "phimosis" is very likely if I would be your doctor then I would advise you for the circumcision and this is the only best option you have to get rid of this condition, take care and have nice day.
