Well, the answer is relatively simple. What seems to be tight: the opening of the foreskin, or the frenulum (that string on the underside)? The first indicates you have phimosis, the second that you have a short frenulum, and if both are present, you have both.

Here’s what you can do on your own, without having to go to a doctor (since that’s what you asked, afterall).

You pull the foreskin forward, and then try to pull it open with your fingers, so as to kind of form a tube with it. Skin responses to tension (which should NOT be rough!) with growing new cells — it isn’t a fast process, but the younger you are the better it responds. When you do it, you should hold it so for a couple minutes; I again emphasise that doing it rough WON’T help.

If you repeat this every day you’ll see some results, even in as little a time as a week or two. It won’t be perfect per se, but with time, it’ll get there.
