No, but I did get hairs growing that looked like fiberglass "angelhair", also. These things were crunchy, the look and texture of frail bone or thick nail. Have you ever had cheap canned fish that has larger bones in it‽ They were like that, about 1mm to 1cm at longest and toothpick shaped.

I had put a charcoal face mask that peels off on my hand because I have the same symptoms and these things did not like it very much now they feel like there biting me and getting worse lol
 
It's a keratin horn or cutaneous horn. It's usually harmless but can mean something worse if you're over 60. So you should get it checked out if you're older. It's just a protrusion of keratin build-up that feels hard like a nail because it's the same material.
Be careful with the parasitic "disease" some people are talking about on other posts because that "disease" is not really a disease. It's a delusional disorder that makes the person think that they have a parasitic infection and that fibers are coming out of their skin. Research has been made and the fibers are usually cotton from daily hygiene items. It's not what we're talking about here. It's treated with anti-psycotics.
 
I have been experiencing the same exact thing!! Joined this just so I could share and follow this as well, cause I haven’t been able to find out any information on what this is!!!
I took a video and these are screenshots of me pulling this “bone” out of my left wrist area.

Does anyone know what this is? Or how to get rid of it??

Also having them all over my body areas. Very random places. I have a dry skin since i was a baby so its not a body pimple that normally happens due to excessive oil. I'm korean and in my mid 20s and i got them on my neck, cheek, butt and near my shoulder. Also fishbone like and sharp. Cant take them out by scratching at them. Gotta use the tweezers cuz sometimes their stems are very short. Its irritating and hurt if i just ignore them. I also wanna know what it is.
 
This was the only thing I could find online about this. About a month ago my daughter was complaining about an itch on her back and when I looked I could see the end of something sticking out just above the surface that looked white. I got tweezers and pulled it out maybe a little less than a 1/4 inch piece of what literally looks like fish bone is what we had. And then just a few days ago she pulled another one out. We still have no idea what it is. If she gets another one definitely gonna keep it and see if a doctor can tell us what it is.
