+1 to the advice given to both folks above - you shouldn't be experiencing any numbness at all - I think the old fashioned idea was to grin and bear it /be a man-woman about it, but it needs to be sorted pronto.
To the OP, it's long been my impression that the saddle should essentially be flat and that raising the nose to push you backwards is not a solution - in fact that may be causing your numbness. The pressure if you want to call it that should be on your sit bones - a bit of pain there isn't a disaster - you can experiment with different shorts/pads etc and and maybe saddles. But any more delicate parts, take note.
