Hello

You need proper clinical examination.Not able to retract foreskin may be due to a condition called as phimosis.
You shouldn't use excessive force to retract it,other wise it may get stuck and may cause surgical emergency.This can lead to compromise of blood supply.

You may need surgical removal of fore skin and this operation is called as circumcision.
Before operation,trial of antibiotic and steroid ointment application under the fore skin can be done.It may decrease adhesions under foreskin.
You should consult surgeon.

Take Care
