Where I cut myself the other day needed sutures but I can't go to the A&E because they'll tell my sister and it's just embarrassing, everyone will know. The wound isn't healing at all because it's above my knee and the area stretches. It's really damn sore. I know it's my own fault and I can't really complain but this pain is really bad, I'm afraid it's going to get infected

It sounds to me like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand if you go into A&E they might tell others including your Sister but on the other hand it really sounds like your wound needs attending to. There's no easy answer but if you are really worried about infection you should really get it seen to regardless.
