I'm dealing with some itching and redness on the head of my penis, and it really hurts when I pull back the foreskin. I'm not considering circumcision, but I'm unsure if I should see a dermatologist or a urologist for this. What would you recommend?

I've been having this issue where my foreskin feels really tight. I can pull it back all the way, but it's super painful and takes a lot of effort. Is this something I should be worried about, or are there ways to make it better?
