Hello,
If you are able to retract penis foreskin back over glans than it is called phimosis.
Phimosis is due to chronic inflammation and so it is irreversible condition.
In mild case topical steroid cream might be helpful.
But ultimate treatment would be day care minor surgery named circumcision.
The foreskin is removed in that.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
