Are there home remedies to accelerate a wound healing? Or is there any method for my stop wanting to lick or nibble a wound? the wound is not infected, and it is small. i just want to put something that stop make some itch, because that is the reason that he lick and nibble, and don't let the wound healing.

Cover the wound with a sock or tee shirt or something so he can't get to it with his tongue. Dog's usually don't lick wounds because they are itchy, but because this is a natural instinct. If Benji is licking it obsessively, he may prevent it from healing at all, and then you need to visit your vet for a treatment plan.
