∙ 14y agoNo. If it's really ringworm, this is a fungal infection. Topical anti-fungal creams are available, and will do a lot more for you than alcohol. In some cases, ringworm is treated systemically, and the course of medicine you take will eventually take the infection down. Alcohol, on the other hand, may damage the already-damaged skin at the infection site, and should be avoided.

AnswerAlcohol (of at least a 60% solution) will kill all fungi, 99.9% of bacteria and many viruses, but does not kill spores. ANSWER:It doesn't kill as well as you would think it should on skin. It will however sweep it from one place on the skin to another. When you go to give blood, the nurse starts with an alcohol prep pad and makes a circle with it going outwards.
