"Goosebumps" are a colloquial term for what is medically known as "cutis anserina." Completely harmless, goosebumps are simply small bumps that develop at the base of body hairs (we especially notice goosebumps on our arms and legs). Goosebumps form involuntarily when a person is cold, and may also form when they experience intense emotions such as fear.
