Context of Leviticus 13:18
16Or, if the raw flesh changes and turns white, then he must come to the kohen. 17The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if the plague has turned white, then the kohen should pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean. “When the body has a boil on its skin and it has healed, 19but in the place of the boil there is a white swelling or a bright reddish-white spot, then it shall be shown to the kohen. 20The kohen is to examine it, and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the kohen is to pronounce him unclean. It is a plague of tza'arat that has broken out within 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.
