The best thing to do is consult a doctor.

If you have a tight foreskin it usually only gets more scarred and tighter the more you try to retract and force the skin back. Just be warned if you go to the doctor they usually recommend a circumcision for a tight foreskin.

Tight foreskin - or phimosis - is not unusual. You can read more here:

Circumcision is sometimes discussed as a solution but your foreskin is perfectly healthy tissue and modern doctors are increasingly reluctant to do unnecessary surgery. But there are plenty of alternatives short of circumcision including lube and masturbation.

See your GP and ask for some betnovate. This may help and save you from surgery. Try easing the foreskin back in the bath with soap, sites.google.com/site/circr...

Hopefully you will not need a circumcision
