Hi, what could this be? It's been there for three weeks now. It isn't causing any limping.

Hello,
There are several possibilities, such as a foreign body that’s become lodged (a grass seed or a splinter), a cyst, or something else entirely.
After three weeks and given the location, it’s unlikely to clear up on its own, and even if he isn't limping, the inflammation is clearly visible. I’d recommend booking an appointment with your vet.
Until the appointment, it’s essential that you stop him from licking it, as saliva will only keep the infection going. The same applies to moisture (be sure to dry his paws thoroughly after walks).
Avoid applying any creams or trying to lancing it yourself without medical advice, as this could interfere with the vet's diagnosis.
Best wishes,
Maëlla
