Do the genital warts fall off on their own after a few months if not causing problems?
If not, is it okay to apply warts removal cream on the warts head? Could you please suggest some creams for genital warts?

Should we reach out to Gynaecologist Doctor or Dermatologist? How do we ensure it is not going to cause cervical cancer?

Also, Do you usually give HPV vaccine shots to adults?

I just read this article - it says the HPV Vaccine shots are mainly for 11-12 year old girls. and specially when they are not exposed to the virus already.

Brief Answer:
You can take the vaccine

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Can you please read the article again because your article itself explained everything.
Yes it is true the ideal time to take the vaccine is before exposure to virus mean when person becomes sexually active.
But at your age also you can take the vaccine though it is not that much effective because vaccine is for prevention of cervical cancer not a viral infection.
