A boy can become a Ben Sorer u'Moreh from the time that he shows signs of puberty (when two hairs grow) until he reaches a further stage of development (approximately three months later).

(b) A person who is *confirmed* to be Tamei due to the appearance of Simanei Tum'ah in the mark is called a Metzora Muchlat. The color of the hair inside the mark of Tzara'as is one of the determining factors in the decision of the Kohen.
