Query for a possible skin infection
Since the starting of August, I am noticing patches on my skin (on my left arm and right side of my neck and right knee). This makes me tend to scratch the areas but is not painful as such. I applied Ring guard ointment on the affected areas, which happened to give temporary relief, but the problem has re-surfaced. Wanting to know if there are any medical options available for this problem. Thank you.

Application of ring guard actually alters clinical picture, which makes it difficult to diagnose the condition by looking at it... Do u have similar kind of rash anywhere else on body... Proper treatment needs proper diagnosis
Next Steps

Please do not apply ring guard as it will do more harm to your skin than doing any good.
It seems to be either seborrheic or fungal problem. Detailed information will be required as to properly diagnose and give best possible treatment according to your skin problem.
