A raised, red, itchy bump on your dog's paw that he's constantly licking could be several things, including an insect bite, an allergic reaction, a foreign body (like a thorn), a bacterial infection (pyoderma), or even a 'lick granuloma' caused by obsessive licking. Given the constant licking, it's likely causing discomfort and could quickly become infected. It's best to have a vet examine it to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
