What is happening here?
Leviticus 13 assigns priests the task of examining suspicious skin conditions and affected garments to determine whether they are clean or unclean.

Priests inspect, isolate when necessary, re-examine after set periods, and pronounce clean or unclean. The purpose is not medical treatment but covenant purity and protection of the camp.
