See your doctor... I had the same thing, it's called Phimosis, most doctors will advise circumcision but often this is not needed. When I was 16 I underwent a frenectomy because that what was causing my inability to retract my foreskin, however, this can also be caused by other things, a frenuloplasty is a similar procedure. As for alternatives to surgery stretching excersizes can also work, applying a topical steroid cream can also be beneficial. I used Diprosone, which has betamethasone 0.1%, I had to get it prescribed by my doctor. I was unfortunate as the root of my unretractable foreskin did not lie in the foreskin itself, but rather in the length of my frenulum as it was too short.
As for sensitivity 'biting the bullet' is the only thing that worked for me. After not having been exposed to touch for 15 years my glans was extremely sensitive. By having a hot bath and just touching it gently at first you'll eventually start to notice that the 'pain' you feel becomes a weird sensation, as time goes by it will begin to feel less sensitive. Don't be fooled into thinking the glans should feel like ordinary skin, it is supposed to be sensitive, this is what gives the feeling of pleasure during sex. Do NOT feel pressured to have a circumcision but don't give up either, it takes time. Do some research before seeing a doctor just so you aren't blown away by what he says. If you see a GP they will refer you to a urologist who will have seen this problem countless times as it affects nearly around 2% of the male population. Sorry for the long post but I have first hand experience and I've seen this question asked so many times.
Good luck and trust me it will get better over time :)
