If, after puberty, you can't easily retract your foreskin over the head of your dick (it also shouldn't hurt), you have a very unhygienic problem called phimosis.
It can be self cured with regular stretching but sometimes you will need a doctor to prescribe a steroid cream to assist with this, the worst cases can require circumcision.
Maybe it's fine in your case. For some people it's so tight that their pee shoots out sideways, any amount of self care is not going to be able to clean sufficiently under there.
Ok, we'll advise young men to pressure wash their bellends instead of seeking treatment for their severe phimosis, and if they have to sit down to pee instead of using a urinal because they'll piss all over, then oh well.
