Basics: If you can pee though it fine you can work with it for a while to get it looser. Do not try to force it.You could tourniquet the tip & kill it. A good cleaning with soapy water & gradual working it back over weeks may release it. A low strength hydrocortisone cream at the tight margins may help. If the issue continues in spite of this a urologist could do simple release procedure.

Some thoughts...: The ways to stretch a tight foreskin varies, depending on age, tightness, presence of foreskin infection, and the dedication of the patient. With no infection, stretching is less urgent and can be more gradual. After puberty, stretch stronger. Some patients hold the skin back near the base of the penis, and let an erection do the stretching. Call Dr. if foreskin is "stuck" behind "head" of penis.
