Hello everyone!
I need help with my Echeveria frosty. Some weeks ago it started to develop some brown/black spots, especially on the upper part, and the new leaves are withering (ever before reaching their full size). I've been told that the pot was too small, so I repotted it a week ago (there is still some dirt on the leaves as you can see from the pics).
Does anyone knows what's causing those spots? Is anyway I can make my plant healthier?
Thank you very much for the help!

First of all, please see this:

Echeverias are succulents, not cacti, so your thread should go into the Succulent Growing Help forum. I'm one of the moderators, and I can move it over there for you if you'd like.

Re: Echeveria black/brown spots
I've this form and typical form in both California, and Arizona; so climate shouldn't enter into a reasonable diagnosis. When dark areas are noted at the growing point, it's typically either the result of fungus growth, or a reaction to an insecticidal spray. If it's the former cause, it can come from a stagnant moist atmosphere, or through plant parasites excreting sweet sap which causes fungus to develop. In either case the effected area should be cut 1/2" below the discolored area, and discarded.

Done. I also kept it as a shadow topic in the Sick Cacti forum so that members who see your thread there respond in the Succulent Growing Help forum.
