Vaginal cancers: Vaginal wall and the "outer lips" of the vagina are rarely seen involved with cancerous growths at 16 or even later. In some cases dark colored moles or areas that appear like "dark freckles" can appear, and if so, you should see your helathcare provider for an exam.

Not Very: There are a few types of vaginal cancers that may occur in women. Although, most are in older age but the cancerous changes in cells are not entirely depending on that factor alone. Pl see attached link for some other detail. The critical thing is proper diagnosis at an early age and treatment for best results. Vaginal cancer is rare. Only about 1 of every 1,100 women will develop vaginal cancer
