I am a 14 year old boy and have noticed that my forekin is joined to head of my penis. I know it is not the frenulum, for it is joined to the side.
I think it was on both sides of the gland, but now it is only on one. When my penis if flaccid, I can retract it freely, but the side that is adhered to the gland is not coming down. When it is erect, i can barely retract my foreskin; I don't think I have phimosis.
After a while, I started to notice that the bottom of the piece of foreskin that was attached to the gland started to come off.
Will the rest eventually come off the gland, and if it does, will I then be able to retract my foreskin when erect?[/img]

It would appear that you've done some research into this, and are using the correct terms. (You may also have tried to attach an image, but it is not currently attached.)
Yes, if you are experiencing some separating of the foreskin from the head, it is likely to continue. You MAY be able to speed or ease this process by taking warm baths (or sitz baths, that are just enough to cover your genitals when you sit), but not knowing how firmly the attachment is, I can't really say.
The person who COULD advise you would be your family doctor.
They should inspect the head and the attachments that are concerning you.
The other person who's anatomy most matches your own would be your father. And depending upon your relationship with him, you may want to ask him if he had problems in this area during his development. Perhaps he should go with you to the doctor's visit. He MAY be able to contribute some valuable information for the doctor.
I assume you know the need to keep the area under the foreskin clean of build-up or smegma. Under extreme circumstances, I understand some attachment can come of this neglect.... but you sound like you are well read on the subject and would have eliminated this possibililty.
Do let us know what you learn and what turns out.
Your condition IS treatable. And before it become a problem.
Good luck!
