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

If the toe has got active infection and poor circulation in Doppler scan, it is better to Remin the toes. If left there it will act as a focus of infection and it will spread upwards and whole leg may affected. If the toes are dry and no signs of infection, we can try conservatively with antiplatelts to improve circulation and we can try to safe them. Consult a vascular surgeon and he will direct you accordingly.

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