Lidoderm is a local anesthetic (numbing medication). It works by blocking nerve signals in your body.

Lidoderm is used to relieve post-shingles pain. Apply Lidoderm only to intact skin with no blisters.

Lidocaine topical in other formulations is used to reduce pain or discomfort caused by skin irritations such as sunburn, insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and minor cuts, scratches, hemorrhoids, and burns. Lidocaine topical can also be used to treat sores inside the mouth, during dental procedures to numb the gums, and to numb the skin for a medical procedure (such as getting stiches).
