Verse
Lv13-43a
discussing
the appearance of certain head leprosies
states
Then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the swelling of the sore is white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of skin leprosy
Rashi clarifies the underlined word
as the appearance of skin leprosy
by referencing verse
Lv13-02
which states
When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling, a scab, or bright spot,
and it is on the skin of his flesh like the disease of leprosy; then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests;
Hence the Rashi comment:
The reference to appearance like skin leprosy in Lv13-43a
refers to the skin leprosy symptoms mentioned in the chapter on skin
leprosy beginning with Lv13-02.

Advanced Rashi:
Rashi can be better appreciated by examining competing references.
- Verse Lv13-02 begins the chapter on skin leprosy
- Verse Lv13-08 begins the chapters on burn leprosy
- Verse Lv13-29 begins the chapter on non-bald-head leprosy
Each of these leprosies - skin, burn, head - has different examination periods
and different leprosy signs. Hence the more detailed Rashi comment on
verse Lv13-43a:
Skin leprosy has a) 4 shades of white and b) a waiting period of 2 weeks
before declaring a final status as a definite lepor. By contrast burn leprosy
has a 1 week waiting period while b) non-bald-head leprosy does not have 4 shades that
initiate the investigation.
This alternate approach to Rashi uses the database method and will be revisited
in rule #8 below.
