Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your seven years old son is unable to retract his foreskin over glans penis.

Normally in children foreskin should retract completely over glans penis by the age of 2 years .Please consult qualified General surgeon for clinical examination to confirm the diagnosis.
He needs to get circumcised .This is a simple surgery and gives good and everlasting results .
