There are many different genetic strains of HPV, and depending on location, will have a variance of potential effects. Those in the vaginal/vulvar area may also become malignant, but consult a dematologist for guidance on treatment of non-genital treatments of HPV.

Genital and warts in non-genital skin are caused by different stains of HPV. You should get HPV vaccine to prevent infection with cancer causing HPV strains.
