Q: for weeks, i've been constipated and whenever i poo hard, i get goosebumps. but the weird thing is that i only see it on my arms and not on my legs or thighs. is that normal?

: This is quite normal. Arm hair is usually larger .Goose bumps can be caused by physical exertion and this includes straining to have a bowel movement.
