As a skin injection, it is supposed to numb the skin for procedures.
From a cardiology perspective, it can help treat abnormal rhythms of the heart or be used in a "code blue" as an adjunct to other life saving procedures.

This medication is an anesthetic used on the skin to relieve itching and pain associated with various skin disorders such as insect bites, burns, scrapes, plant poisonings, hemorrhoids. Lidocaine may also be used to relieve irritation and inflammation in the mouth and throat. Some forms of this medication are used during certain procedures to reduce pain.

Numbs the gums... for dental procedures. There is an over the counter topical liquid that is used for toothaches, but I can't remember the name... it uses lidocaine as its chief ingredient.
