Hey Rocky24...from what I have been reading in these forums, it sounds like you have Balanitis. I have included information below for you to read over. I'm not circumsized as well, but I have always been able to easily puill my foreskin back and forth with no problem. And in reading about yourself and other guys and the pain you have, I guess I'm very lucky. But I would say if you continue to have pain when touching the head, definitely go see a doctor. Good luck!
Balanitis is most common in uncircumcised men. Causes include skin disorders, infection, poor hygiene, uncontrolled diabetes, and harsh soaps.
Symptoms include pain, redness, and a foul-smelling discharge from under the foreskin.
Treatment depends on the cause, but may require antibiotics, steroid creams, or antifungal creams. In extreme cases, the foreskin may need to be removed (circumcision).

Sounds like a mild case of phimosis. I'm on my phone now, but will post more tomorrow.

Phimosis can usually be treated with stretching or steroid creams, but occasionally, surgery (preputioplasty or circumcision) may be required. If you can retract fuly when soft, then it's unlikely you'd need surgery.
If you want to try a steroid cream, you could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.

Tight foreskin is normal in an uncircumcised child. It often goes away over time with regular, gentle retraction.
Phimosis may look like a rubber band of skin around the tip of the penis. If complications develop such as bleeding or infection around the foreskin, or painful urination, a urologist should do an exam.
Treatment might include a steroid cream or removal of the foreskin (circumcision).
