Help with found toad please!

Beautiful looking toad, but I have no idea what it could be. Watch it for 24 hours and see if it changes. It almost looks like a fly larvae sticking out.

Kinda looks like a blood blister, as tho he was stung or pinched. Or maybe he's the 1st toad with an actual wart. Really nothing you can do but watch it and him for now. Might not need treatment if it's just a benign growth. If no change after a few days or if it shrinks, and toad is otherwise acting healthy, should be fine to release back outside. If it gets bigger, oozes, seems like it's causing him pain, or worse in some other way, a herp vet visit may be needed.

Or maybe someone's seen this type of thing before and will swoop in to save the day. Hoping for the best.

The toad is doing great now, thanks for your concern! After a month of ointment cream, a good habitat, and lots of food, the toads injury has healed! It turned out that it was in fact from a sting or bug bite. I found it odd that it took such a long time to heal though.
Below are pictures in order to show the toads recovery. Also, I tried to help show growth by putting my hand/fingers in for comparison of the pictures.

I can't see pics but maybe when I get home on PC. So glad he's better! You must've taken great care of him. Are you going to adopt him or release?

I can't see any of the pictures either. Would you mind trying to reattach them?

I would definitely love to! I would also like to say that along with being fully recovered, he is no longer the shy little guy I originally found. The pictures were extremely hard to take because he would rather try to crawl up my arm instead of sitting still! I'd love to adopt him, honestly, but i'm still undecided!
