Because of the acidic nature of an infected abscess, local anesthetics such as lidocaine have little or no effect in inhibiting nociceptors via sodium channel inhibition. This is because the free base form of the anesthetic is needed to penetrate tissue membranes. In highly acidic environments this base is in effect inactivated.
