In the human skin, the dermal papillae (DP) (singular papilla, diminutive of Latin papula, 'pimple') are small, nipple-like extensions (or interdigitations) of the dermis into the epidermis. At the surface of the skin in hands and feet, they appear as epidermal or papillary ridges (colloquially known as fingerprints). Blood vessels in the dermal papillae nourish all hair follicles and bring nutrients and oxygen to the lower layers of epidermal cells. The pattern of ridges they produce in hands and feet are partly genetically determined features that develop before birth.

Reciprocal signaling between the mesenchymal condensations and the placode leads to formation of mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla inside the epithelial envelope. The dermal papilla functions as a signaling center during initial hair morphogenesis in the embryo, as well as during the adult hair cycle. The dermal papilla transmits signals to the surrounding epithelium, maintaining its proliferation and differentiation into the various cell types of the growing hair shaft.
