That may actually irritate it more since alcohol has a dehydrating effect on skin. Moisturizer or aloe may soothe the skin better, depending on the rash. It's probably best to see a skin doctor if the rash isn't gone in a couple of days or it's spreading.

How do you use rubbing alcohol to break a fever?
Rubbing alcohol can be applied directly to the skin, or it can be used to soak a pad, which is then applied to the skin. Either way, the rubbing alcohol cools the skin as it evaporates. That said, using small applications of rubbing alcohol to cool the skin will probably not be sufficient, in itself, to break a fever. Rubbing alcohol can be used as an adjunct to other fever-reducing measures, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or cold bath (with the advice of a health practitioner).

Rubbing alcohol will not take the pimple off, but it can help to treat it.

Why is rubbing the skin briskly with rubbing alcohol beneficial?
Beneficial in what way? Alcohol is a relatively good topical antiseptic, meaning it will help to remove some of the germs found on the skin, but don't get the idea it will "kill all the germs". Really all it does is effectively "degrease" the skin and the rubbing will remove or wipe away a lot of the topical germs on your skin. Hydrogen peroxide is a much better "germ killer" if you get a really dirty cut. Pouring alcohol on a cut is torture - it does no real good. Just wash cuts with soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and bandage. An alcohol rub can lower a child's temperature.
