I think you mean goose bumps, dear. :)
Goose bumps are a temporary local change in the skin. The chain of events leading to this skin change starts with a stimulus such as cold or fear. That stimulus causes a nerve discharge from an involuntary portion of the nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system. The nerve discharge causes contraction of little muscles called the arrectores pilorum (the hair erector muscles). Contraction of these muscles elevates the hair follicles above the rest of the skin. And it is these tiny elevations we perceive as goose bumps.
I would say you probably get goose bumps when you take a hot bath because the hot bath water makes the air seem colder in comparison. The same thing happens to me.

It's goose bumps and that is your body telling you that you are in an extreme temperature change whether it is hot or cold.

Very hot baths aren't good for you. They dry out the skin and can make you feel faint.
