I have a mini maltess he has a bite on his foot that he has licked raw. What can I put on it to help heal it up fast?

Poor Jesse James! This is quite irritated! I would recommend bringing him in to see his vet to be sure he doesn't need a systemic antibiotic or anti-inflammatory at this point. In the meantime, I would put an e-collar on him (cone shaped collar) and you can clean the area with a mild soap and apply an antibiotic ointment and hydrocortisone creme.
