Hi!
What you are describing would seem unlikely to be cancer.  If you were my patient, I would ask you to come in so that I could see the spot, and then we would probably wait to see what happened, and whether it went away on its own, or evolved into something more than a splotch.  If there is concern, a small biopsy can be taken from an edge of the splotch, as long as it does not look vascular.  A dermatologist or pediatric gynecologist would be the right kind of doctor to do a biopsy.
Good luck!
