Is It Possible to Get Rid of Scar-like Dark Red/purplish Dots on my Legs? (photo)

I assume they are the results of shaving when I was a teenager (I'm now 28) and has never worn a skirt/dress since then. I still don't know what they are, but until recently I have a feeling that they might be scars (I always thought it's a chronic infection due to shaving) and feel I should do something about it. My legs are always purplish/reddish when standing for a long time, is there a way to cure it? I'm Asian and have fair skin.
