Can anyone please tell me what this is on my guinea pigs foot? His cage is cleaned every day and he seems OK in himself thanks xx20180206_073606.webp
 
Ouch - it looks painful.
It is impossible to say what it could be, but it looks like he either caught his nail, or got something (a long hair) wrapped around his toe which cut the circulation off for a bit.
I would get him to a vet to be checked, as he may need antibiotics to prevent infection.
At the very least this will need regular bathing until it clears up, but a vet would be the best person to advise.
 
Please see a vet; you piggy could have infected or broken a toe.
