My newly adopted dog has a weird malformation on one of his toe pads. It's skin coloured and has misshapen the pad. It also has started to bleed on walks.

Any lumps/bumps that you notice on your dog should be checked out by your vet. Lumps can be any of these things: * abscess (infection) * cyst * cancer (benign or malignant) * wart There is no way I can tell you for sure what it is just based on your description or by looking at a photo but I have a suspicion that this may be a histiocytoma (benign tumor).
