Taking vinegar internally with meals may improve digestion thereby strengthening bodily defenses.
Using vinegar topically will mildly inhibit ringworm (fungal) growth. This is not a sure cure. However, common household bleach will cure ringworm. It is usually mixed with water; at least 9 parts water to 1 part bleach. Often 1 ounce bleach in a quart of water is sufficient. Weaker solutions need to be left on the skin longer. For athlete's foot (ringworm on the feet) a few glugs of bleach in the tub at the beginning of a showed can stop athlete's foot in 1 treatment.

Does vinegar kill ringworm?
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.

Can you go tanning with ringworm?
Yes you can go tanning with ringworm. The bright UV lights damage the ringworm fungus and drys out your skin. This process of quickly drying the skin will actually help get rid of the ringworm. I would wait to apply any topical creams until after you are done tanning because they might irritate your skin when combined with tanning lights. P.S. Don't tell the tanning business that you have ringworm because they might not let you into the beds. (You can trust this answer, I have had ringworm multiple times, it comes with being a wrestler)
