Detailed Answer:
Hi sir.Welcome to healthcare magic.I have gone through your question.My opinion is that,as age advances body skin become stiff.Younger people has soft skin but older people has thick skin.penile skin also becomes stiff as age advances.So if you vigorously pull penile skin it may cause abrasions.So dont pull penile skin vigorously.Nothing to worry sir.These things are normal in old age and usually no treatment is needed.
Thank you sir.
