Ringworm is a fungal infection caused by several organisms...and there are different types of ringworm. Vinegar is not going to end the problem.
If you are wondering if you should launder clothes in vinegar that have been removed from a person...or bedding...bedding from animal..the answer is: it would be better to launder them in Clorox and very hot water.
As far as putting vinegar on the spots on the skin, no....you can get clotrimizole or other antifungals at your pharmacy over the counter...or the best thing to do would be to see a doctor or a Veterinarian as the management of ringworm requires that you be educated as to how to eliminate it from your environment. Ringworm has spores that are difficult to eliminate.
Knowing more of your circumstances would help answer the problem.
