Why would an older small breed dog become obsessive about hygiene?

(3) There is a small lump near my dog’s anus and he chews on it several times a day to the point that the fur is gone.
Get thee to a vet with a description of specific behaviors like:
(2) My dog is licking her vagina whenever she is sitting or laying down but I haven’t noticed any discharge.
Are you afraid to get married and why?
(4) Whatever your dog is doing.
(1) My dog has licked her back left foot raw and only that foot.
Licking and chewing are what a dog does when something doesn’t feel right - it itches, it’s in pain, its swollen - or when they are very anxious - canine cognitive decline, loss of a sense like sight or hearing, generalized pain in some other part of the body.
I have no idea what behaviors you think are indicative a very human mental state, but guess it has something to do with licking/chewing?
Vet check time!
