If it's the bottom of the pads, it sounds like burn from hot concrete. If it's the skin between the pads, this can be from several things - often they will lick it themselves and make it red. Triggers can be food sensitivities/allergies, or grass allergies too. Very often, it develops into an infection.
For the red toe cyts on my former dogs, I used to use peroxide on them once, and then they would clear up, they were usually caused by trauma while running in the fields, though when my girl was young, corn in her diet would trigger the paw licking. For the girl I have now, she has extensive allergies that causes them, and use Entederm creme on them (antibacterial, antifungal, and a bit of steroid). BUT, they may be a nasty form of a staph infection if they don't respond quickly to standard care.
