This white lesion is on the skin. As such it is outside the expertise of her gynaecologist.
It looks perfectly benign to me. She should, however see a dermatologist who can eyeball
it and decide if biopsy is appropriate.

It's best to have a Dermatologist check this.
I doubt you need this area biopsied it looks completely benign in the photo, however I would have you see a dermatologist (skin specialist) for an expert opinion. Good luck.
It looks totally benign like a small area of vitiligo. I would still see a dermatologist and find out why it concerns your gyn.Cases of vitiligo have been reported in women with a history of vitiligo at site of radiation for breast cancer.
It is really difficult to tell from the picture but if your gynecologist recommends biopsy then you should at least see a dermatologist for further input. He or she could do the biopsy if indicated.
Looks like a small loss of skin pigment. It is most probably benign, but could represent early vitiligo or even tinea[pityriasis] versicolor. Have your Dermatologist check it and the rest of your skin for unusual moles or other white spots.
Probably ok but there is such a thing as a melanoma with no color Get a biopsy from a dermatologist to be sure
