Thanks to HCM
I can understand your concern

infected badly injured toe should be removed from healthy part ,otherwise it may spread to otherparts also

even though If you are not having diabetes ,here gangrene may spread to other toes.

so as your doctor advised ,just undergo once the colour Doppler study of arterial and venous system of that leg ,check the level of blood circulation ,amputation of gangrenous part is better decision..ok

till that time plz continue antibiotic like augmentin 625 twice daily and analgesic for pain relief ..ok

don't worru ,do the colour Doppler first plz ..
