Dear brandy.dunlap, YOU have developed inflammation of glans penis and due to swelling the skin whole also gets shrunken , the only thing you have to consult your family doc. get examined. if the fore skin is stuck to glans or unable to move or it is painful directly contact to a general surgeon you need a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory,after manual retraction under local anesthesia or surgeon may advice for circumcision.
