Why do the hairs on my arms constantly stand up even when i'm really warm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tied to sweat glands: the hair follicles are in the sweat gland so sometimes when the glans or follicle is stimulated like by heat the hair will stand straight up It also opens the skin so it evaporates better helping the body rid itself of heat
