Leviticus 14:57

55 for mildew in clothing or in a house,

56 and for a swelling, rash, or spot,

to determine when something is clean or unclean. This is the law regarding skin diseases and mildew.”
Read the whole chapter

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.
