Context of Leviticus 13:18
16Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, then he shall come unto the priest; 17and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean. And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed, 19and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be showed to the priest; 20and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boil.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18In the skin thereof, was a boil - Scheuchzer supposes this and the following verse to speak of phlegmonic, erysipelatous, gangrenous, and phagedenic ulcers, all of which were subjected to the examination of the priest, to see whether they were infectious, or whether the leprosy might not take its origin from them.
