Hello. The image shows a dog's paw with a visible area of redness and irritation between the pads and on the surrounding fur.
There are several possibilities for this type of skin lesion:
Pododermatitis or local irritation: Often caused by repeated licking, rubbing, or an allergic reaction.
An infection: Bacterial or fungal overgrowth frequently develops in these warm, moist areas between the toes, leading to redness and itching.
A foreign body or parasite: A small grass seed, a splinter, or an insect bite can also cause localised inflammation, prompting the dog to nibble at the area.
To help soothe it and find out more, it would be sensible to check if he is constantly licking his paw and to consult a vet so they can examine the skin properly and identify the exact cause for targeted treatment.
Please note that these are only possibilities given the limited information you have shared.
Best regards,
Léo Mettas.

Pardon?
Could you please take the trouble to say hello and explain what the problem is?
Thank you.
