When you have an erection the penis will extend thru the foreskin, which is normal .When flaccid the penis shrinks back into the foreskin.

My foreskin is fairly tight when my penis is erect, the tip and part of the head can exit out of the foreskin however I am unable to get it past the head fully. Is this natural or do I need to see a doctor? I can retract it fully when flaccid?
