Meaning of "umbilicated" in English

"Umbilicated" is an adjective used primarily in medical contexts to describe a surface or lesion that appears to have a central depression or a navel-like indentation. This term is often used to characterize certain types of skin lesions, such as those seen in some viral infections or dermatological conditions, where there is a noticeable dip or concavity in the center.
