To add: there are times when hes has infections in between his toes too. Small little reddish skin sections which eventually ooze some puss. Usually this heals in 1-2 days after they first appear. There are times when infections are caused by licking/biting (I think from the bacteria in the saliva). But, I am now also wondering if infections also can occur on their own? Because he will get them in areas where it would be really difficult for him to bite open and often I do not see any visible bite marks around the infected areas (like in the previous picture). Like really in the center of two pads when the fur is really thick. I think they sometimes get irritated on their own and maybe it gets worse or infected by licking or from the warm/moist conditions in between the pads.

Thanks for replying. I treat the wounds once with some diluted iodine immediately when I notice it (with a soaked cotton pad). He wears a sock so he cant get to it and if I can supervise him also leave the wound to open (I think contact with the air is helpful?). I also have an antibiotic balm which I put in case I see puss or think an infection is likely. To answer your question. Its really localized to the paws. His skin on other parts never showed anything atypical. Are there any tests you might recommend I do in a clinic?
