Some licking is natural grooming. Excessive licking can signal allergies, an imbedded foreign object (such as bee stinger), or pain due to an infection or cyst, or just boredom/stress.
It's possible he could have some Type of discomfort from allergies or a thorn/debris , it could also be an indication of arthritis or that something in the paw is hurting as well as he could just be cleaning his feet .
