Microneedle
For the one that hasn't surfaced yet.
A hydrocolloid patch needs something to draw out. It works on a spot that has already come to the surface. The sore, solid one under the skin has nothing to give it yet.

What it does
Your skin is built to keep things out.
The stratum corneum is the outer layer, and its job is to be a barrier. That is why a cream sitting on top of it can only do so much. MicroForce is a grid of ultra-fine tips that pass through that layer and dissolve, so the actives start where the spot is rather than above it.
Questions people ask about microneedle patches
What is a microneedle patch?
A microneedle patch is an adhesive patch covered in a grid of ultra-fine tips made of dissolving material carrying active ingredients. The tips pass through the outer layer of skin and dissolve, releasing the actives beneath the surface rather than on top of it.
Do microneedle patches hurt?
The tips on a microneedle patch are far smaller than a needle used for an injection. Most people describe pressing one on as a slight tingle or nothing at all.
What is the difference between a microneedle patch and a hydrocolloid patch?
They solve opposite problems. A hydrocolloid patch absorbs fluid from a spot that has already surfaced. A microneedle patch delivers actives into a spot that has not surfaced and has nothing to draw out yet. Surfaced means use a hydrocolloid dot; under the skin means use a microneedle patch.
How long do you leave a microneedle patch on?
A microneedle patch is usually worn overnight so the tips have time to dissolve completely. It is removed in the morning and not reused.
Which one do I need
Surfaced, use a dot. Under the skin, use MicroForce.
That is the whole rule. Most people end up keeping both.
