If you can afford to visit a dermatologist, that's your best bet. If not, let me suggest the following:
It sounds as if your skin is reacting to the shaving of your underarms. You might try waxing for them, if you can tolerate it. (I've never had it done.) If you are reluctant to try waxing, then you might use a chemical hair removal method for your underarms, like Nair. Realize, however, that if your underarm skin is that sensitive, it might also react to the Nair.
For your knees, I'd recommend slathering some baby oil on them before you get into the shower or tub, allowing it to soften your knees, and then gentle buffing with a pumice stone. It's not abnormal for elbows and knees to be a little darker than the surrounding skin. Whatever you do, don't rub too hard with the pumice stone. You'll abrade your skin. Gentler is better.
There are over the counter gentle skin bleaching products that you can try for these two areas, as well. Just don't over do it (like Michael Jackson)! Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent, as well. (It will sting if you use it under your arms after shaving.) Use sparingly. Good luck.

Use something to exfoliate - depends how rough the skin is but a pumice for very rough skin down to a face cloth for smoother skin. Use a moisturiser regularly. Try resting your elbows in halves of lemon! This will have a slight bleaching effect.

mix lemon juice+cucumber juice+potato juice (all these are natural bleach)
...apply on the joints, leave for about 15-20 mins...rinse off with luke warm water...apart from this exfoliate with a good scrub weekly and moisturise daily.

well, you can try this at-home DIY.. rub "calamansi" or lemon on them...but it takes time... take alot of Vit.c.. it's good for the skin or you can also use nivea on-spot corrector or you can ask your dermatologist about it since they can give you treatments for that

I wouldn't worry about it. It probably isn't a big difference and no one else will notice.
