Healing is actually making a medical problem someone has better whilst treating is doing something with a view to making a medical problem better.
The cuts on my legs have healed = The cuts on my legs are no longer open wounds
The cuts on my legs are being treated = they (the nurse/medical staff) have cleaned the wounds with antiseptic and covered them with bandages, and also possibly prescribed drugs in order to heal the wounds.

"Heal" refers to health and recovery. Your injuries "heal" over time.
"Treat" means to give something that is good. I can "treat" you to a delicious meal.
