Mesorat%20hashas for Negaim 9:2

הַשְּׁחִין וְהַמִּכְוָה אֵין מִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה, וְאֵין פּוֹשִׂין מִזֶּה לָזֶה, וְאֵין פּוֹשִׂין לְעוֹר הַבָּשָׂר, וְלֹא עוֹר הַבָּשָׂר פּוֹשֶׂה לְתוֹכָן. הָיוּ מוֹרְדִין, טְהוֹרִין. עָשׂוּ קְרוּם כִּקְלִפַּת הַשּׁוּם, זוֹ הִיא צָרֶבֶת הַשְּׁחִין הָאֲמוּרָה בַתּוֹרָה. חָזְרוּ וְחָיוּ, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁמְּקוֹמָן צַלֶּקֶת, נִדּוֹנִין כְּעוֹר הַבָּשָׂר:

[The <i>Negaim</i> within] a boil and a burn do not combine with each other [to make a <i>Nega</i> large enough to cause impurity], and do not spread from one to another, and do not spread to [normal] skin, and [normal] skin does not spread into them. If they were unhealed, they are pure [even with a <i>Nega</i>]. If they formed a membrane like the skin of garlic, this is the scab of the boil mentioned in the Torah. [If] they returned [to normal] and healed, even though their area is scarred, they are judged like [normal] skin.
