Yes, it can. It is safer for your skin to use the more orthodox treatments, like lotrimin and other creams, but bleach does it quicker. There is also, however, a big risk of leaving a scar where the ringworm used to be if you leave it on too long.
I used all of the creams and pills from my doctor for a month, and nothing worked and it spread terribly all over my back and chest. I started day 1 with a 50-50 bleach solution being careful not to cover more area than necessary (it will sting), and washed it off after 5 min. I then went to a 6-1 bleach and water mix with lotrimin spray after my skin dried for four more days twice a day (also stings). This killed the infection in it's tracks. Just be prepared for dry and itching skin that you cannot scratch during the healing process.
