Brief Answer:
Colposcopic evaluation advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I have seen the attached picture and I find it perfectly normal.
But still I would advise you to go for colposcopy first and see if there is any problem.
Most likely everything will be normal but well documented stuff is always better than prediction.
All the best
