Proposed is a self-current-generating skin-applicable patch with a first area in contact with the skin and a second area adjacent to and spaced apart from it, where either area contains a biodegradable metal, decomposable and absorbable through skin contact or reaction with tissue moisture. The patch includes a first electrode layer directly contacts the skin as a thin sheet integrated with the first area and has at least one fluid-transferable penetration part, a second electrode layer of a material with a different standard reduction potential is positioned opposite a skin-contacting side, partially extending to connect electrically to the second area, and a support layer, a hydrophilic sheet of predetermined thickness, is positioned opposite the skin-contacting side, having an ionic solution supported. Thus, sufficient iontophoresis and other micro-current effects with active ingredients are achieved through self-generated micro-current, even without a battery-like external power source.
