Hello ma?am, hope you are doing well. I am 23 year old guy and I wanted to know that I had some velvety kind of skin 3 days back which appeared overnight and it started paining a little bit. It became reddish a little and I for that reason applied lobate gm on it for 2-3 times a day. So it is paining a little less but has developed a kind of clotted dried layer which is little peel-able. Should I continue this or what would you recommend. Thank you.

Good afternoon. Self medication with steroid based combination creams is the worst thing one can do. Apart from worsening the condition, it can cause other side effects and even change the skin lesion so that the initial condition may be unrecognizable at this point to a doctor. What I recommend is you get a consultation from a qualified dermatologist who can examine you and prescribe the appropriate treatment.
