No such thing as a dumb question!
Yes, steri-strips are sticky all the way, but they specificly designed to be safe to dissolve inside cuts, however, most of not all steri-strips and butterfly bandages are hypoallerginic, so make sure the ones you have are allergy-safe.
But you can use butterfly bandages if you don’t want any adhesives to stick to your cuts, make sure to find the hypoallergenic latex-free kind.
When applying steri-strips, don’t apply them in one direction; like right-to-left, right-to-left; this can pull the skin to one way and not secure the wound shut.
instead pinch the wound shut, apply one strip right-to-left, appl the second strip from left-to-right, you know what i mean? this way it’s secured shut and not gaps can be formed.
If you wanna be extra, you can apply them like in this video demonstration (although they forgot to apply them in different directions)
↑Same thing can applied to butter-fly bandages
Depending on the depth and length, You can take them off after 5-7 days.
note: one taking them off, make sure some of the dissolved steri-strip parts are also taken off, usually at the place of the cut. Like a small little plastic strip that broke off the strip.
You can also use scissors to cut excessively ong steri-strips in half, so you can have more strips to close a long cut if required. (Make sure your scissors are clean)
Ps. I salute you on the absolute man-willpower for not taking them off, you go gon’ get it, bucko!
