i agree about getting things into your cuts, that defo wotn help infection. i use distilled withc hazel to help clean it it doesnt sting. then i tend to just put a dressing over the top and hope it works. if they are very deep though they might need stitches so wath out for that.
as for the swimming thing i used 2 have that problem to because i was alwasy out swimming and then i suddenyl stopped, everyone used to ask me if was going with them and i just said no i wasnt up for it. they thought it was a bit weird at times. maybe just say your not feeling that great, youve got sotamch ache or soemthing. its an acceptable excuse and they wotn look to far into it.
hope that helped a little bit x
