What Is The Cause And Treatment For Phimosis?

I'm 15 years old and when my penis is erect I cannot retract the foreskin fully, I can only get it just past the head of my penis. I have no problems when the penis is flacid. Could you please tell me what options are available to cure this problem. Thank you.
