you can fix this with topical steroids and stretching exercises/devices.a minor surgery called a z-plasty will also fix it.the topical steroids are betamethasone or clobetasol and should be applied to the foreskin after stretching.here is more information.

It is called phimosis and you need to see a dr.  If you feel more comfortable, try going to a clinic.  Also if you have yeast, you need to be treated.  Yeast infections can cause phimosis.  This can become  painful and if left untreated could lead to tearing of the foreskin or medical circumcision.  Please see a dr, no matter how embarresed you are.
