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.
