HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The risk of conversion to cancer is low to non existent. Warts in the genital region do have a risk of cancer.
They are contagious however so this needs to be prevented.
In terms of treatment, it can be at home or done at your doctor's office. Home treatment involves the use of salicylic acid.
I hope this helps
