Hello,
Thanks for the feed back
I understand your concern
Goose bumps can be due to
1. Extreme low temperature
2. Intense emotions and very rarely some seizures can have these manifestations.
3. Peripheral neuropathy with autonomic involvement
I urge you to get clinically evaluated by a local neurologist as you have tingling sensations too. The clinical evaluation in turn will help us decide the nature of investigations in your case. The management will depend upon the exact diagnosis
I hope that it clarifies your query
Please get to me in case you have any other concern
Best wishes
