What Causes Small Bumps And Cuts On The Skin?

I am turning 67 in 2 days. This past couple of years I have been experiencing skin conditions. My skin seems to tear easily and the slightest bumps leaves me with many bruises. Hmm, am I lacking something in my diet or just getting old. I take blood pressure meds (10mg/day) basically prevention meds I guess, but for the most part I have always been very health and active.
