I haven't had a problem with it myself, but from previous threads I have read it does look like it. However, it seems like I remember there would be a healed over scab or something on the swollen area which would be the entry site of the bacteria causing the swelling. Could it possibly be an injury like a sprain? Does he limp? Do a search for bumblefoot in the search box and you will find more pics and surgery techniques to get rid of it.

You may have caught it early, before the plug has developed.
I would PM ruth, she is the author of the bumblefoot surgery page and could probably give you some insight on how you should proceed.

The plug develops later? I thought it was the site of the injury
Well the plug is caused by a bacteria, an infection, so if you caught the problem before the infection has really gotten into the pad of his foot maybe that's why you don't see the plug yet.
However, I'm not 100% sure as I've never had to deal with bumblefoot, like I said... PM ruth.
