Red spots: The spots could be something other than simply dry skin. I would recommend trying either Hydrocortisone cream or a topical antifungal such as naftin (naftifine).

Feet: Try a topical steroid and see if that helps but if skin is cracked i wouldn't use it. Obvious answer is stop epilation.
