16 But if the raw flesh changes[a] and[b] turns white, he must go to the priest.
17 The priest will examine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest must pronounce the infected person clean; he is clean.
18 "When a boil appears on the skin of one's body[c] and it heals,
19 and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, the person must present himself to the priest.
20 The priest will make an examination, and if the spot seems to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease that has broken out in the boil.
21 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days.
22 If it spreads further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
23 But if the spot remains where it is and does not spread, it is [only] the scar from the boil. The priest is to pronounce him clean.
24 "When there is a burn on the skin of one's body produced by fire, and the patch made raw by the burn becomes a reddish-white or white spot,
25 the priest is to examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.
26 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in the spot and it is not beneath the skin but is faded, the priest must quarantine him seven days.
