Goose bumps are raised on the human skin under two conditions. The first is in response to cold, when goose bumps rise it helps the body to stay warm due to muscle contraction as well as the erect hairs creating an extra later of insulation. The second is due to emotions, primarily fear, but it is also possible with other emotions.

What function do goosebumps play in your integument?

Goosebumps are caused by the contraction of tiny muscles called arrector pili muscles attached to hair follicles. In animals, this response can help trap air to provide insulation or make the animal appear larger to predators. In humans, goosebumps are a vestigial response that has lost its original function but can be triggered by emotions or cold temperatures.

Unlikely. The bumps on your skull are being caused by something other than playing on the computer. You should see your Doctor.
