Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, podiatry helps with toe problems, but cannot say in your particular case. Generally, "blue" and "congested toe" imply a vascular problem. It depends where the vascular blockage is.

If it is just the toe, then it likely will be removed by the podiatrist, and this is less of a problem than it sounds. However, it frequently is due to a more serious vessel blockage, and a vascular surgeon would be involved.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
