It could be bumblefoot with a peeled scab. You can soak the feet in warm soapy water for about 15 minutes. Sometimes there can be a solid core of pus inside that can be squeezed out if it is advanced. Dry the foot and then I would apply a 2x2 gauze pad with Neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment and warp the foot in strips of vet wrap. Change it daily. This video shows how to apply the bandage:
