40 “If a man loses his hair and his head becomes bald, he is still ceremonially clean.
41 And if he loses hair on his forehead, he simply has a bald forehead; he is still clean.
42 However, if a reddish white sore appears on the bald area on top of his head or on his forehead, this is a skin disease.

44 the man is indeed infected with a skin disease and is unclean. The priest must pronounce him ceremonially unclean because of the sore on his head.
