How do I have an object ignore collisions with one collider in an object but not a second one

Question

I'm currently making a 2D game where I want the hit box for the player to be smaller than the sprite itself but still have the player fit into the camera view without clipping through the edges. to do this, I have a normal collider on the outside of the sprite and an isTrigger collider on the inside. is there a way for the incoming obstacles for the player to dodge to ignore the collision with the first box and not the second? would it be better to use an empty object, parent it to the player (or vice versa) , and give it it's own box to trigger the player being hit?

Yes, you can use Physics.IgnoreCollision to tell colliders to ignore collisons between eachother. You would have to call this between your character collider and every projectile/obstacle that you want to avoid, however, so yes I recommend putting your colliders on different gameobjects/layers which is a much easier solution.
