goosebump
Goosebump is a temporary small area on the skin where it becomes rough, tight, and raised due to cold, fear, or emotional excitement. It's a kind of body's physical reaction to these conditions where small muscles attached to individual body hairs contract, which leads the hair to stand on end. The scientific term for this phenomenon is "piloerection".
