If a man or a woman has a sore on the head or the chin,
In context
27On the seventh day the priest is to examine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest is to pronounce him unclean; it is a defiling skin disease. 28But if the spot has stayed where it is, has not spread on the skin, and has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean, since it is only the scar of the burn. 29If a man or a woman has a sore on the head or the chin, 30the priest is to examine the sore, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it is thin and yellow, the priest is to pronounce the person unclean; it is a scaly itch, a skin disease of the head or the chin. 31But if, when the priest examines the itch, it does not appear to be more than skin deep and there is no black hair in it, the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days.
