    It's edema (fluid retention), and it can be caused by many things - standing too much in one spot, heat, hormone fluctuations, smoking, pregnancy, and heart/vascular problems are probably the main ones.

    Put your feet up, put cold wet towels on them, and at work, move around as much as possible wearing very good quality comfortable shoes. See a doctor if rest doesn't help, or you see weeping skin or sores, or other significant skin changes.

    Red spots... not enough to really determine.
    How old are you?
    How is your health?
    What's your BP?
    Do you smoke?
    Are you on medications (ANYthing, incl b.c.)?
    When was your last visit to a doctor?
