Contextual Overview
18If you have a sore that either swells or turns reddish-white after it has healed, then you must show it to a priest. 20 If he discovers that the hair in the infected area has turned white and that the infection seems more than skin deep, he will say, "This is leprosy—you are unclean." 21 But if the white area is only on the surface of the skin and hasn't gotten any worse, and if the hair in it hasn't turned white, he will have you stay away from everyone else for seven days. 22 If the sore begins spreading during this time, the priest will say, "You are unclean because you have a disease." 23 But if it doesn't spread, and only a scar remains, he will say, "You are now clean." 24 If you have a burn that gets infected and turns red or reddish-white, 25 a priest must examine it. Then if he discovers that the hair in the infected area has turned white and that the infection seems more than skin deep, he will say, "The burn has turned into leprosy, and you are unclean." 26 But if the priest finds that the hair in the infected area hasn't turned white and that the sore is only skin deep and it is healing, he will have you stay away from everyone else for seven days. 27 On the seventh day the priest will examine you again, and if the infection is spreading, he will say, "This is leprosy—you are unclean." 28 However, if the infection hasn't spread and has begun to heal, and if only a scar remains, he will say, "Only a scar remains from the burn, and you are clean."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread not,.... Continues as it was when first viewed:
it [is] a burning boil; but not a plague of leprosy:
and the priest shall pronounce him clean; as clear of a leprosy, and so not bound by the law of it, though attended with an inflammation or burning ulcer.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A burning boil - Rather, the scar of the ulcer; literally, “the burn of the ulcer.”
