It could be a skin infection. You could soak his paw in a warm Epsom salt solution and see if that helps. Otherwise, he needs to be examined by a vet for treatment. He may need an antibiotic and/or corticosteroid to help treat.

Ouch, that looks like it hurts. This could be a foreign body trying to be expelled with infection or an inflammatory reaction. It would be best to have that examined by a veterinarian. In the meantime you can soak the paw in a warm epsom salt solution for 10 minutes at a time about three times daily. This should help with pain.
