Brief Answer:
It could just be an ulcer

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Instead of this being a cancer, it is more likely to be an ulcer. A biopsy should help rule out cancer from this lesion. Ulcers are treated with systemic and local antibiotics. But a prior confirmed diagnosis should be done by gynecologist.
