Iccthymol Ointment(drawing salve, black, smells like something you would patch your roof with, some derivative of fish oil or something, hence the name), is a topical antiseptic, anti inflammatory and can give mild anesthetic effect. I use it often with ingrown toenails if they are not too bad and I don't have to out with the needles and scalpels.

That stuff is almost like magic in my experience, makes stuff feel better right now. It is not going to make a splinter jump out of your finger, but will make it feel better and hasten healing.
