Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The lesion you have described seems to be a lesion of molluscum contogiosum. It is a viral infection and has umbilicated skin lesions, white lesion with brown spot or dimpling in the centre.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist to get examined properly, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
