Hey there - sorry you are experiencing such difficulties! Early in your note you say that you are 'small' - I assume the 5" is referring to you erect. If so, you are very slightly under what is now accepted as the average, with proper controlled measuring techniques.
As a Brit (and now living in Aus), uncut has always been the norm, so GPs are never quick to suggest a circumcision. Does the sensitivity you talk about also comes with some blotchy redness on your glans? That, plus the regular smegma build up, could be an indication of balanitis. I had a few bouts of this in my 30's and 40's and it's no fun - very sensitive, and jerking off regularly was kind of like scratching the itch, but possibly added to the irritation! Perhaps the black tea method mentioned by @freeballerlondon may help with that. In my case I tried antifungals (clotrimazole), which kind of helped, but on the advice of my local sexual health clinic I ended up sorting it out by just doubling my washing (so twice a day minimum, always after any sexual activity and any sweating from exercise), just with warm water, and use of sorbolene cream. Over a period of time it settled down and I don't seem to have had a recurrence for quite some time now.
I wish you well!
