: Your vagina appearance seems consistent with vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) due to estrogen deficiency after menopause. No, that appearance is not cancerous. Take care.

Hard to diagnose without an exam. Could be minor irritation/ non-specific infection. Try cortisone cream for a few days. If not better pl see your Gyn.
