In a skin needle manufacturing apparatus 10, a material melted in a syringe 45 is discharged from a fine hole 47a of a pin member 47 and is caused to adhere to a base 48. A computer 50 causes a drive mechanism 48 to separate the pin member 47 from the base 48. Then, the material 80 having adhered to the pin member 47 and the base 48 is drawn out. A projection portion 48b formed of a part of the material 80, which has adhered to the base 48, is formed into a skin needle 81. Consequently, a skin needle can relatively easily be manufactured without requiring excessive time, effort, and cost.
