Roddy has given you the best answer from a medical point of view. Only circumcision will remove the root causes of both phimosis and balanitis in one simple procedure that has no drawbacks.
Phimosis often leads to balanitis as the non-retractable foreskin precludes proper daily cleaning asd retraction to urinate. Debris therefore collects under the foreskin and attracts pathogens which give you balanitis.
Because the area cannot be kept clean, nor can any anti-fungal creams be applied properly, the infection will keep returning however many times irt appears to have been cured.
The only way to prevent the balanitis recurring is to ensure that the foreskin is freely and fully retractable (which you can never do with phimosis).
The only sure, immediate and guaranteed permannet cure for phimosis is indeed to be circumcised. This is a simple, quick and safe procedure that can easily be done under local anaesthetic in a doctor's office or specialist circumcision clinic (which is where I'd choose as they are experts through doing circumcisions day in day out).
circumcision seems to be the easy answer for most cases of Phimosis..
however, proper answers require proper examination and assessment..
surgeries and minor surgical procedures are often discouraged in cases of active injuries or infections.. if you have an infection at one area, many surgeons may recommend to delay the procedure until the infection is dealt with..
the word "acquired" is the part that raises more questions about your current condition, if that area is infected and in an active inflammation (such as Balinitis), circumcision maybe delayed until the infection is dealt with..
the term "acquired" suggests a condition that you were not born with (many children are born with phimosis).. the term 'acquired' suggests something external that is causing the phimosis, such as trauma from an accident, burns, skin infection etc etc..
so the best answer is..
seek proper advice at a local GP or family doctor.. by proper assessment and examination, he/she may offer better solutions that are best suited for you..

Foreskin causes phimosis, foul odor, smells, infection etc.
