Hi,
You mean glans penis is covered by the skin called prepuce and you can not retract the skin back. Hence, I think you suffer from phimosis. So, I recommend you to consult the general surgeon. If it is phimosis, he may go for surgery called circumcision. It may be done under local anaesthesia.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
