הלך שער לבן. שהוחלט בעבורו:
וחזר שער לבן. אחר תחתיו:
וכן במחיה וכן בפשיון. או שלא חזר שער לבן, אלא שנולדה בו מחיה שהיא ג״כ סימן טומאה, או שפשה הנגע:
בתחילה בסוף שבוע ראשון. כלומר, בין שההחלט היה בתחילה כשהובא אל הכהן, בין בסוף שבוע ראשון, בין בסוף שבוע שני, בין לאחר הפטור כגון שעמד בעיניו שני שבועות ופטרו ואחר הפטור בא שער לבן והחליטו, בכל הני גווני אם הלך לו שער לבן וחזר שער לבן, או מחיה או פשיון הרי היא כמות שהיתה. כלומר, נשאר בטומאה כמו שהיה, הואיל ויש בו סימן טומאה, אע״פ שאין זה אותו סימן שהיה בשעת החלט:
וחזר הפשיון וכן בשער לבן. הא דלא קתני הכא וכן במחיה, לפי שכשהלך הפשיון ובאת המחיה, פעמים שיהיה טהור, כגון שהמחיה מיעטה הנגע מכגריס:

נגעים פרק ה׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
שער פקודה (hair of a leprous spot which remains after the inflammation has partly receded) – it is language of פקדון/deposit (see Leviticus 5:21 and 5:23), that the bright white spot in the flesh/בהרת deposited the hair in the skin of the flesh and left it/disappeared.
וחכמים מטהרים – and their reasoning, as it is written (Leviticus 13:10): “[If the priest finds on the skin a white swelling] which has turned some hair white, [with a patch of un-discolored flesh in the swelling].”/"והיא הפכה [שער לבן ומחית בשר חי בשאת]., that it has turned [some hair white], but it did not turn its neighboring [hair white].
אף דבריך אין מקויימין – for this also is pure. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
שער פקודה. לשון פקדון, שהפקידה הבהרת את השער בעור הבשר והלכה לה:
וחכמים מטהרים. וטעמייהו, דכתיב והיא הפכה, שהפכתו היא ולא הפכתו חברתה:
אף דבריך אין מקוימין. דהאי נמי טהור. והלכה כחכמים:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

What if I miss a day?

הלך שער לבן – that he had been certified as a leper for its sake [of the white hair].
וחזר שער לבן – other in its place.
וכן במחיה וכן בפשיון – or that the white hair did not return, but rather that quick flesh resulted which is also a sign of defilement, or that the plague spread.
בתחילה בסוף שבוע ראשון – that is to say, whether the declaration of being a certified leper had been at the outset when he was brought to the Kohen, whether at the end of the first week, whether at the end of the second week, whether after the clearance/release, as for example, that it remained unchanged/עמד בעיניו for two weeks and he released him, and after the release, the white hair came and he (i.e., the Kohen) declared him to be a certified leper, in all of these ways if the white hair disappeared and then the white hair returned, or the quick flesh or the spreading. הרי היא כמות שהיתה – that is to say, the defilement remained like it was, for since he has a sign of defilement, even though this is not the same sign that he had at the time of the declaration as a certified leper.
וחזר הפשיון וכן בשער לבן – but that it (i.e., the Mishnah) doesn’t teach, "וכן המחיה"/and similarly the quick flesh, because when the spreading disappeared and the quick flesh came, sometimes he would be pure, as for example, that the quick flesh diminished the plague from being the size of a split Cilician bean.
