Leviticus 13:42-44

42 But if he has a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a defiling disease breaking out on his head or forehead.

43 The priest is to examine him, and if the swollen sore on his head or forehead is reddish-white like a defiling skin disease,

44 the man is diseased and is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head.
