Question : Hello, twice today I have had clusters of goosebumps on my right forearm, nowhere else. They are in patchy clusters and not all over. Thoughts? Nerve issue? Something else? 36 yr old female.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Occasional patchy goosebumps occur in keratosis Pilaris, a harmless condition or sometimes due to aberrant stimulation of peripheral nerves. If you are still concerned, please let me know if you have any other symptoms and any relevant past medical history.

Just relax there is nothing to worry. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you.

Regards
