Small pink bump next to paw pad — what could this be?
Hi! I noticed a small bump next to the main paw pad on my Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s front paw. It is about 5–7 mm, pink/red and smooth, with a small dark spot on the surface. It is located beside the pad rather than on the weight-bearing surface.
I’m not sure how long it has been there. I noticed it while cleaning his paws. Does this look more like an interdigital cyst/furuncle, histiocytoma, foreign-body reaction, or something else?
He is a male Pembroke Welsh Corgi, around 2 years old, approximately 14 kg, neutered.
I understand that a diagnosis cannot be made from a photo — I’m mainly trying to understand what it resembles and whether it warrants a vet appointment soon.
