Is the virus that causes the warts on your fingers the same the same as the virus that causes genital warts?

These are two different types of warts. Common warts are small harmless tumors of the skin that are caused by the human papillomavirus. The virus enters the skin after direct contact with recently shed viruses that thrive in warm, moist environments such as a locker room, or by direct contact with an infected person and the point of entry is often an area of a recent injury. Oftentimes, warts will disappear 60-70%with or without medication.

Meanwhile, Genital warts are growths or bumps that can be contracted through sexual contact. They're caused by certain types of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Unlike common warts, however, genital warts can be difficult to treat because of the possibility of recurrence. However, there are different remedies available that can help prevent further outbreaks, including topical medical creams like Wartscide. For more advanced genital warts, other treatments might be recommended including surgical removal, laser treatment, cryotherapy and cauterization.
