Alcohol is perhaps the simplest way to eliminate infections that attack the skin, for the same reason that alcohol is poured on wounds to disinfect them. Plain alcohol is an immunoprotective substance that can quickly kill bacterial and viral infections. By dabbing plain alcohol on the lesions multiple times each day, the liquid can soak into the bumps and neutralize the infection, while also reducing swelling and diminishing the appearance of the lesions. Using this treatment regularly can lead to clear skin within a few days.
