My grandmother, and my father had that problem later in life. My brother and I both have the same thing now that we are geezers. The top layer of skin is just very thin, and rips or bruises easily. My brother carries about 6 band-aids with him all the time. Just a slight bump and he tears the skin.
Yesterday I had to replace the front Bilstien shock inserts on my 911 as the old ones were leaking oil. Compressing the shock to get it out of the wheel well caused me to brush my arm against the fender edge. I had blood running down my arm but I could not let go until I got it out from under the fender to expand back to full height. It looked like I had been in a knife fight. Just a few mm of skin was flapped back. I washed off the blood, and but a band aid over the wound to stop the blood and finished the shock replacement with no more blood.
