Thanks for your response. So why do you think it may happen when you don't have any of these feelings for them to happen and why does it sometimes happen in patches?
Would appreciate a response. Thanx again.

How are you? How long have you been experiencing this? Goose bumps are the bumps on a person's skin at the base of body hairs which involuntarily develop when a person is cold or experiences strong emotions such as fear or awe. In humans, goose bumps are strongest on the forearms, but also occur on the legs, back, and other areas of the skin that have hair. In some people, they even occur in the face or on the head. This is caused by the pilomotor reflex  which is due to the sympathetic nervous system.

I hope this helps. Take care and regards.
