goosebumps are caused by arrector pilli muscles in the dermis layer of the skin at the base of hair follicles. They are normally stimulated by fear or cold. Many people assume that when we are cold, we get goosebumps and that will warm us up. That's not true. We do not have enough hair on our body for this to produce enough heat to warm us up significantly. Maybe at one time we did, but over time, we've lost a lot of hair! Goosebumps may have also been used as a defense mechanism at one time when we did have a lot of hair on our body. Because they make our hair shafts look erect, when humans did have a lot of hair in prehistoric times, when all of the hair on their bodies stood straight out, it made them look bigger and more fearsome.
It is possible for you to make goosebumps appear on your skin because most of the time, goosebumps are a result of psychological stimulation (being scared or feeling cold). hope this helps!
