The best advice I can give you is to tell your dad what's going on. Don't tell him about the handjob, eventhough you shouldn't be getting one at your age but talk to him first. Don't get all hasty and start talking to doctors. I know this from experience. And if you feel awkward talking to your dad, go to your counselor at school if he's a guy. I don't know what's wrong but you might find out if you confide in people you know rather than strangers on the internet.
I hope this helps.

You should definitely see your doctor pronto. You NEED to be able to clean your penis and retract the foreskin to clean the glans.
If you can't what happens is that a yellowish cheesy consistency discharge called smegma hardens on the penis, the glans and the ridge area beneath the head. This hardens and can and does become crusty and has a smell. And it sounds like there is quite the buildup. As far an infection goes (I doubt) but if there is one a doctor will tell you.
I know you're 15 and probably embarrassed by this or not taught how to care for an uncircumcised penis or that if you can't retract the foreskin it's a BIG deal.
You probably dread the doctor and they understand it's NOT easy for people young and even older to show them private parts of the body. It's for the best though. They can see what's happening and loosen your foreskin for you.
They usually make a small incision they call a dorsal slit to loosen it and make it easily retract so you have no more problems but you do need to retract and clean the head and areas the foreskin covers every time you bathe from thereon. Unless you have some extreme problem don't worry they aren't going to do a circumcision.
What will happen is that a doctor will refer you to a urologist and they will make it so you can retract it easily. It's quite common and I heard this explained to someone who asked a question of sex educator Sue Johanson's call in show a long time ago so I know it's sound advice.

You need to be able to retract your foreskin. This is both for hygienic purposes and also for sexual activities (though granted, a handjob can be carried out without retracting it).
You are right to be concerned since what you are describing is not healthy. However, there is no need to worry, just see a doctor if you really are unable to retract it on your own.
Needless to say, going through the handjob without sorting this out will probably not be a great experience on the part of the girl and may well end up causing you some pain and/or embarrassment.
Good luck.
