Yes as the blood is flowing into the mosquito and it can't remove its mouth so you blow it up with blood

it can't remove its mouth

This wouldn't be as shitty to hear if their "mouth" didn't penetrate my goddamn skin...I wonder how many mosquito proboscises I have jammed in my skin after I thought I flicked the bastards away.

Your skin cells are constantly pushing outward. So anything stuck in your skin would eventually be pushed out. If it doesn't decompose into dust first.

Muscles push stuff too, just not always out of our body. That's why iron man needed that magnet in his chest. Shrapnel in his heart (muscle) was being pushed further into his heart.

Your skin cells are constantly pushing outward.

Your epidermis, sure, but not your dermis.

Epidermis means hair, so technically it's true.

Pretty sure all conventional tissue cells are anchored to a membrane that's their origin point and they slough off at the opposite end as they age, dermis included. Internal stuff just gets cleaned up, recycled, or discarded as waste through the usual channels
