Does chlorine sting a fresh or reopened cut?

i have a little wound cut thingy on my knee from sliding on my knees the wrong way, and i just finished removing the scar because it was catching on my clothing. Now it's re-open and bleeding and fresh as ever and i'm going to the pool. Can I stillg get in without it stinging really badly?

Answer:
Cover it with a water proof band-aid to minimize the exposure to the chlorine..after swimming, take off the band-aid and let it dry out.you'll be fine.works for me!
it will hurt
As long as the clorine in the pool is adjusted properly, it should not sting your cut, but I wouldn't get in the pool with an opened and bleeding wound.
Don't go to the pool, just wait until it heals!
yeah...just make sure it doesnt get infected
