Hello,
You are having balanitis as per mentioned history. It is inflammation of glans penis foreskin.
You can be prescribed a topical steroid for your phimosis problem. Phimosis means you cannot able to retract foreskin back over glans.
If no improvement than minor surgery can be done to remove foreskin called circumcision. I suggest you consult Urologist for examination and discuss all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
