Leviticus 13:44

42 But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.

43 The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,

the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.

45 A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’

46 As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
