Suggest Remedies For Dark Spots On Legs Caused By Shaving

Hi, when in the shower I always/to every other time shave my legs, i make sure they are hosed down with warm - hot water and exfoliated with shower gel in circular motions, i then either use the same shower gel or shaving foam applying in a thick generous coat before gently shaving upwards in long strokes. (rinsing the razor with every stroke) I then pat my legs dry with a fluffy towel and then proceed to moisturize. However, I am still ending up with dotty spots, prickly thick hair follicles (especially in the ankle areas) and other marks. My legs look in bad condition and nothing I do helps the damage even after a prolonged time not shaving whatsoever. What do I do?
