What could the string/thread be that the GP removed from my arm?

Today during an Implanon removal from my upper arm whilst my doctor was searching for my implant she came across a piece of what looked like red thread/string embedded in my arm. She pulled at it and asked me had I ever had stitches as it looked like suture thread.
I have never had stitches so was quite confused, she tried to pull it out but it would not come out far without it feeling like she was pulling my soul out through my arm so she cut a sample off to be sent off to the lab for testing as she was as mystified as me.
Has anyone ever had experience with this?
Pretty freaked out by the whole experience.
Thanx Luna.
