Gabachat גבחת

Gabachat גבחת, a baldness at the back of the scalp due to natural causes. In the case of gabachat bladness, the nethek isn’t applicable as the afflicted person has no hair.

Thus, the gabachat is susceptible to the standard tzoraath where one of four shades of white make an appearance. In the case of the white appearing, it may be an indication of tumah depending on of the blotch is larger than a griss.

Although the gabachat is a candidate for one of the four shades of white and a pisyon. The white colored nega being a host to a white hair is not an indication of tumah -in other words a white hair making its appearance in a gabachat does not indicate tumah at all. (Sifra Tazria min. Ch. 147:2)
