A lump such as this could be many things, including an interdigital cyst, an abscess, a foreign body reaction, or a tumor (some tumors are benign and nothing to worry about and others are more aggressive and require removal). I would recommend having your vet examine the area. They may recommend a needle aspirate (involves inserting a small needle into the swelling) to help determine what is causing the swelling and how best to treat the area.
