Abstract

Provided is an inexpensive microneedle array with little dimensional error that can control, with high precision, the amount of a predetermined component to be introduced to the inner part of the skin, and a production method for this microneedle array. A foundation that is insoluble or sparingly soluble in inner part of the skin is overlaid on a mold. A plurality of frustum-shaped protrusions, which are insoluble or sparingly soluble in the raw material liquid, provided on a first main surface of the foundation are fit into a plurality of cone-shaped recesses. The raw material liquid in the plurality of cone-shaped recesses dries and, as a result, a plurality of microneedles, which are dissolvable in the inner part of the skin, are fixed to tip surfaces of the plurality of frustum-shaped protrusions.
