I assume steri-strips are akin to butterfly bandages? If so they do work well but have a tendency to scar. At least they did on me. Right in the middle of my forehead, too. Oh well... I usually carry superglue and Nu Skin whenever I go camping/hiking/doing anything dangerous. I love Nu Skin particularly, as I use it to prevent blisters in places I know will normally get blisters. Great for bowling.
