Just dry skin or something more on Machu's feet?

Just noticed Machu has little dry patches on both his back feet. Looked up some photos online and doesn't look like bumblefoot but just wanted to check it just looks like dry skin and nothing more?

Hi

I would have that seen by a vet as it could turn into bumblefoot if it comes off. It is very difficult to tell without a hands-on examination, to be honest.
