molluscum or not

I have this dome shaped and firm raised wart looking on my thigh. There is only one on the whole body, is ut molluscum or something else? I went to a doc and she think it is but when i went to dermatologist he said NO, just bug bite. So I am confuse and wish i can post pic to be sure. Thing that make me even more confuse that its single and only such thing on my body and that is on thigh. Secondly it started as a 48 hours intense iching and seem like a red rash then i made a mistake and put a heating pad on it, after which i saw the wart looking thing that itch and sensetive to cloth touching and aometime a little pain but all tgis comea and goea except that wart if i may call it for now. Please please let me know if i can attach pictures to show the growth and if u think dermatologist is cirrect and don't need anythibg. Thanks

Hi, no pic please but if it has a dent in the middle that would be a sign of molluscum but i would go with the doctors opinion as they saw it and have experience

I would say the dermatologist advise is correct as they specialize in these things. Is there a dent in the middle?
