It looks like an infection/inflammation. you can try bathing the paw in epsom salt bath twice a day, after the bath dry the pad very well. if he is licking the paw you will need to put an e-collar around his neck, you should also avoid any long walks or run until he gets better. if you do not see any improvement within a week you should take him to the vet in order to get it treated.
