Had ingrown toenail surgery, but after 2 days the numbness won't wear off! what should i do?

Tincture of time: Sometimes the nerves are affected by the surgery. In a short time your skin should return to normal. The trauma from the surgery can cause this to happen depending what procedure was used.
