It's not unusual. It's called phimosis. If not taken care of, it can increase your long term risks. The good news is you can likely fix it yourself. Put a finger from both hands in the foreskin opening, and gently pull in opposite directions. Do it for 15 minutes a day. In 6 to 8 weeks, you will likely be able to retract. If not, go to the doctor and get a prescription for betamethsone cream. Combined with daily stretching, it takes care of most of the stubborn cases in 6 to 8 weeks. If the doctor suggests circumcision, walk out, and find another one.
