What can you use to numb toe for ingrown nail?

There are a few different ways to numb your toe for an ingrown toenail. Here are a few tips:

* Ice: Applying ice to your toe can help to numb the pain and reduce inflammation. Wrap an ice pack or cold compress in a towel and place it on your toe for 10-15 minutes at a time.

* Salt water: Soaking your toe in warm salt water can help to soften the skin and reduce pain. Add 1/2 cup of salt to a basin of warm water and soak your toe for 15-20 minutes.

* Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil has antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help to treat ingrown toenails. Apply a few drops of tea tree oil to your toe and cover it with a bandage.

* Over-the-counter pain relievers: If the pain is severe, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help relieve the pain.

If your ingrown toenail is severe or does not improve with home treatment, you may need to see a doctor for further treatment.
