I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. I can pull it back when I'm semi-erect, but not when I'm fully erect. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm feeling a bit worried about some issues I'm having. My penis seems to be very sensitive, and it feels uncomfortable whenever I touch it. Also, I think the foreskin feels tight when it's erect. I'm still a virgin, so I'm not sure what could be causing this. Are there any home remedies or medications you could recommend to help with this?
