Rubbing alcohol only has the capacity to kill the ringworm that lives on the surface of your skin but is ineffective at killing the ringworm that lives below the epidermis, which is where most of the ringworm lives. That said, rubbing alcohol is great for disinfecting surfaces and objects that may have ringworm on them in order to prevent its spread. As such, while rubbing alcohol may be partially effective, we do not recommend rubbing alcohol as a substitute for seeking professional medical attention for ringworm. Our board-certified physicians at Reddy Urgent Care would happily examine your rash to see if it is ringworm and determine what the best treatment route is in your case!
