Could you just wrap up your arm in an Ace bandage or something similar and say you twisted it or pulled a muscle or something like that? If people ask questions, just say "long story" and change the subject or walk away. I don't know, just an idea. Take care.

Uhm... I think what Butterfly said is good, but also if the cuts aren't very deep (are they?) maybe if they heal enough by then you could use coverup. I don't know how bad they are though, and if they don't heal by then I think the ace bandage is best!
You could try wearing a thin long sleeved white top [thus discreate] under your usual clothing and say you get cold really easily.

i feel ya. i play basketball and it is so scarey when you know everyone could see.i went to a sports store and got one of those three quarter length sleeves made out of underarmor. told everyone i pulled a muscle and that it was compressing it to keep it still. it worked for me.
Just one more day....

thanks for all ur advice : ) it means alot, if they heal enough by the time i need to play, im gonna try makeup but if not the whole bandage/compression sleeve thing isnt a bad idea and would prob be the best explanation. i appreciate u guys helpin me out, thanks again!

One time, when I cut really bad on my arm, i wrapped my arm in an ace bandage (i had work the next day and the uniform is a tshirt). I told people that I fell down the stairs and that I have a really bad rug burn. Thankfully, no one asked to see them. It helped me hide them until they were well enough to wear a t-shirt with.
a couple ppl did, only one asked, i said i had a skin problem lol i put a ton of makeup on it...what a dumb answer but no one asked again. i bet some ppl talked about it when i wasnt around but i dont care, i just hate those stares i get and thats the worst part of ppl knowing... so now im just trying to put it behind me thanks to everyone for the advice
