Some can cause irritations and an infection from licking their feet too much secondary to an allergy. Some can have interdigital cyst in between their toes due to an infection or a foreign body such as a grass awn or thorn. Since it has been there for so long, it is best to let your vet check to see what the cause is so it can be cleared up
