This is phimosis. It can be due to deposition of smegma over the glans penis or due to any inflammation. You can try to gently retract the skin with lubricated hands using vaseline or coconut oil. Clean the smegma with non irritant soap and water and then pull back the foreskin over glans. You can take some painkillers like ibuprofen to reduce the pain. If unsuccessful, consult a urologist.
