My dog has a painless bump on his toe. What should I do?

Question

I'v noticed this bump on his toe. It doesn't seem to bother him at all, even when I touch it. Any idea on what it is or how to get rid of it? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 years and 7 months old | 112 lbs

That looks like an infection. It could be bacterial, mites, allergies, a foreign body in the skin or yeast infection. At home you can wash it daily with an antibacterial soap (rinse it well). Make sure he is not licking or scratching it (use an elizabethan collar if needed). If it is not getting better or if it is getting worse within a week, then take him into the vet for an exam. I hope this helps!
