Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. From your picture, it appears as though this may be a a pustules or infected callus. I would recommend cleaning this with a Betadine and saline solution (light brown color) and apply a medication such as zymox topical ointment twice daily until resolved. If this worsens or does not resolve, I would recommend having this looked at by your veterinarian. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
