What kind of leprosy was this?

2 Kings 5:1 (ESV)

1 Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and in high favor, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

This is more generally “skin disease.” It should not be brought into relation with all the laws concerning leprosy as found in Leviticus 13:1 – 14:57. Naaman did not live under Israelite law.
