I'm having trouble with the foreskin of my penis not retracting to expose the head, and I'm really concerned about keeping things hygienic. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?

It sounds like you might be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Gently stretching the foreskin over time may help, but if the problem persists, a doctor can recommend treatments such as topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor procedure. For hygiene, clean the area gently with warm water to avoid infections. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
