Red swollen toe ?

just noticed my son has one red swollen toe with some dry skin on it. One of the others also looks a bit red. Any ideas? Google turned up chilblains and Covid? Should I watch and wait or book in to see GP??

don’t know when it appeared as I guess I don’t look this feet daily, but I think I trimmed his toenails recently so can’t be that long. He says it’s been like that ‘forever’ but his time perception is bonkers!

It looks a like a blister, are their shoes a bit tight?

No injury to it then? Not got trodden on or bashed it on something? If not then I agree it looks like the images of chilblains.
