Not yet. Ive found a few things online that point to something called Raynauds. Seems like its difficult to diagnose, and its not that serious. I think Im just going to ride it out. Thanks for asking!

With me it's the nail rather than the toe itself. One doctor said a fungus and another said not a fungus but from wearing too tight of shoes. So much for doctors . Anyway I know in your case it's the toe itself. Im going to check out this Raynauds anyway .
Thanks for your response!

I think I'd consider getting it checked out. Possibly a circulatory issue?
My hubby and son have Raynauds. While I am sure there are variations of it, they have issues with more than a toe or finger. They've complained of hands or feet. It could be entirely possible but it's just different than what I have experienced with them.
We had to be very careful when our son was younger and was a snowboarder. Once he got large white welts. I don't recall how long it took them to go away, but I don't believe it was long lasting, definitely a few hours though (I recall because we had to get him off the mountain and to doctor). We were given liquid Benadryl.My husband has not ever gotten the welts, but it is painful and turns white until warmed up.
