Commentary for Leviticus 13:9

נֶ֣גַע צָרַ֔עַת כִּ֥י תִהְיֶ֖ה בְּאָדָ֑ם וְהוּבָ֖א אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן׃

When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest.

Haamek Davar on Leviticus

A skin-eruption of tzora’as. Although it has previously been clarified that the word nega (skin-eruption) is only used when it is already [known to be] unclean, nevertheless, this usage of the word here comes to teach us that even if the man knows by himself that in the end it will be unclean he must still be brought to the kohein.
