Yes it can be used to kill Ringworm. In a combination with ringworm creams like Lamisil Ultra or similar, rub the acetone on your skin and while it's drying rub the cream on top. The acetone removes fat from substances and will also cause anything mixed with it to soak into the skin. In as little as 5 days you will notice any severe cases shrink and any small cases go back to normal skin; it is recommended you use the acetone & cream trick only while the redness is visible then switch to just the post treatment of ringworm cream. A more effective method is to shower, perform this mix trick then wait. As a nice wrap up, put clear top coat nail polish on, and wear it until your next shower. You will see the ringworm fade a lot faster and it will not spread as fast.

Does triple antibiotic cream cure ringworm?

No, ringworm is a fungus not a bacteria. It needs to be treated with a fungicidal.

If you kill all the bacteria in the area, it may kill the fungus's (ringworm) competition and allow it to flourish.
