What is stuck in my skin?

A few months ago, I realized I had a splinter in my thigh and dug it out. When I finally got the splinter out, it was this oval white thing. It was really small, and I honestly didn't think anything of it.

Then, it happened two more times on both my thighs and still couldn't understand how this was happening or what I was digging out. I decided I must be sitting on something with these little white things.

Now, I just dug out another splinter from my chin (pictures attached) and I'm so confused. Is this a medical condition or something? The only result I get on Google is Morgellons, which hasn't even been proven to be real.
