Leviticus 13:33-43

33 he shall shave, but the itch he shall not shave. The priest shall confine the person with the itch for seven days more.
34 On the seventh day the priest shall examine the itch; if the itch has not spread in the skin and it appears to be no deeper than the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
35 But if the itch spreads in the skin after he was pronounced clean,
36 the priest shall examine him. If the itch has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
37 But if in his eyes the itch is checked, and black hair has grown in it, the itch is healed, he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 When a man or a woman has spots on the skin of the body, white spots,
39 the priest shall make an examination, and if the spots on the skin of the body are of a dull white, it is a rash that has broken out on the skin; he is clean.
40 If anyone loses the hair from his head, he is bald but he is clean.
41 If he loses the hair from his forehead and temples, he has baldness of the forehead but he is clean.
42 But if there is on the bald head or the bald forehead a reddish-white diseased spot, it is a leprous disease breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.
43 The priest shall examine him; if the diseased swelling is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, which resembles a leprous disease in the skin of the body,
