It looks like an inflammation, possibly due to an infection or allergic reaction. you can try treating it at home with Epsom salt bath to the paw 2-3 times a day. make sure you dry the paw very well after each bath. if you do not see any improvement within 4-5 days- take him to your vet to get it treated.
