A member asked:

Been experiencing goosebumps on my upper left thigh for the past few weeks. not sure what could cause it. its not definitely not due to me being cold. concerned about underlying causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Goose bumps come and go. If yours are persistent that would suggest infection of hair follicles and it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
