Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pain, discoloration of toe from blue to red suggests a vascular disorder.
For symptomatic relief, keep the toe warm and avoid exposure to cold environment.
You need to consult your physician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for diagnosis and thus management.
Thanks and take care
