I have the same carpet, but yours is in much better condition and isn't faded/worn out. Mine sheds little reddish/purple powder/dust from deteriorating and I need to vacuum it/under it regularly. Should get a new one. I also have the same skin issue behind my middle finger with bumps/scar tissue where individual hairs grow. The hair growing from there sometimes gets stuck under the hard skin/scar tissue and is an irritation. I usually nibble that skin a little to get the hair out of it and then pull it out with my teeth.
Yeah, got the carpet cheap at an old local department store. It ain't great, it carpets. Took a look after your comment, I just scratched the back of my hand, didn't run the skin off.
