Hello
I appreciate your concern
you can pull your foreskin back and you should clean it regularly
in fact you should wash it regularly with antiseptic soap or solution because smegma keep on accumulating under the foreskin and can lead to spread of infection.

Thanks for your question
Please feel free to ask for more clarification
best wishes
