Exegesis
The paired prepositional phrases bekarachto and vegabachto {בְּקָרַחְתּוֹ אוֹ בְּגַבַּחְתּוֹ | bə-qā-raḥ-tō ʾō bə-ḡa-baḥ-tō} locate the swelling on the scalp and forehead.
In context — Leviticus 13:43
The priest shall see him, and behold, the swelling of the affliction appears white-reddish on his bald head or on his forehead, like the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the flesh.
