נגעים פרק ח׳ משנה ג׳

3

A bright spot in which there was white hair and then it broke out covering his entire skin, even though the white hair remained in its place, he is clean. A bright spot in which there was a spreading and then it broke out covering his entire skin, he is clean. But in all of these cases if [even] the ends of the his limbs reappeared [in their natural color], he is unclean. If it broke out covering a part of his skin he is unclean; If it broke out covering all his skin he is clean.

Alternatively it informs us that at the end of the first week or at the end of the second week he is impure with blossoming over part of his body even whatever the amount because of spreading.

בהרת. כגריס

ובה שער לבן. הא קמ״ל דפריחה מטהרת אחר כל סימני טומאה:

פרחה במקצתו טמא. אצטריך לאשמעינן אפילו פרחה ברובו, דלא אמרינן רובו ככולו. אי נמי אשמעינן דבסוף שבוע ראשון או בסוף שבוע שני טמא בפריחת מקצתו אפילו בכל שהוא משום פשיון:
