My dog is licking her paw excessively, what's causing the irritation?

Question

I saw my dog licking her paw's a lot and so I though she got a sticker caught on her paw or something but when I looked I found this, it doesn't seem to be very painful or sensitive until her toe starts rubbing on it a lot. Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Female | 1 year and 4 months old | 58 lbs

It's hard to tell what it is exactly, it's probably a local infection or inflammation, this could be caused by allergies or by a foreign body for example, you will need to take her to the vet in order to get it checked and treated.
