Very mild case of bumble foot. Shouldn't need to cut the foot open. I can't remember what the treatment is. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Bumblefoot... not all looks like the 'classic' pics...

Warms epsom salet water soaks, 15-20 mins daily... apply clear/colorless iodine afterwards... keep in clean, confined area... after a couple soaks, while it is still soft, see if you can pop the scab off and if there is any whitish/yellowish cheesy/hard substance, remove as well... apply clear/colorless iodine after that, if it bleeds, place gauze on foot pad and wrap with vet wrap...
