The important part of stopping the condition is figuring out what is causing it. It’s not a common disease of fig trees, as you can see from this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/figs/common-fig-tree-diseases.htm [1]
However, it does sound like it could be potentially dangerous to the tree. Here’s a general article on peeling tree bark: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/peeling-bark-on-trees.htm [2]
It would be to your advantage to get a professional diagnosis, either from a certified arborist, or from the County Extension Service. This link will help you locate the nearest office: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/extension-search/ [3]
