Hi

I would like to know if I can use these phrasal verbs interchangeably when talking about a wound, cut, etc.

E.g. When the wound has healed over/up you can remove the plaster.

Thanks for your help!!

Ana Laura,
I've found the definitions and examples in Cambridge dictionary of phrasal verbs.

heal up
if a wound or injury heals up, the injured part repairs itself and it becomes healthy again
I'm not supposed to use my arm till the bone has healed up completely.

heal over
if a wound heals over, new skin grows over it
Try to protect that cut until it heals over completely.
