Leviticus 13:20

וְרָאָ֣ה הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְהִנֵּ֤ה מַרְאֶ֨הָ֙ שָׁפָ֣ל מִן־הָעֹ֔ור וּשְׂעָרָ֖הּ הָפַ֣ךְ לָבָ֑ן וְטִמְּאֹ֧ו הַכֹּהֵ֛ן נֶֽגַע־צָרַ֥עַת הִ֖וא בַּשְּׁחִ֥ין פָּרָֽחָה׃

And the priest shall look, and behold, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white. Then the priest shall pronounce him unclean—it is a leprous affliction; it has broken out in the boil.
