Elisha performed many miracles during Joram's reign. He multiplied a widow's oil, revived the Shunemmite's son, fed his disciples, and cured Naaman.
The Aramean general Naaman is stricken with Tzaraat and is ultimately cured by Elisha the prophet.
Although tzaraat was a skin illness, it had a spiritual element to it. In the Tanach, we find quite a few individuals who were plagued by tzaraat.
