Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As age is above 60 years, so skin becomes thin and vessel becomes easily fragile also loss of connective tissue. So small type of trauma will do the same. Be careful and do the rest maximum as much as you can. Hope it will benefit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ruby
