My foreskin only pulls back to the head of my penis should it go all the way down? It seems to be loosening slowly on its own, but is there anything I can apply or take to help it stretch more without needing surgery?

A partially retractable foreskin may improve with gentle stretching and topical steroid creams. Surgery is only needed if it interferes with hygiene or causes discomfort.

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?
