Does the number of wounds on a human affect how quickly each individual wound heals? Why or why not?

I cut my hand recently and though about this. Is the work all local to the wound site, or is there some other component supplied by my body at large? 

Say there are two scenarios, scenario 1 is that a person falls and scrapes their hand. Scenario 2 is that the person falls and scrapes their hand in the same way, but also get numerous (but separate) cuts and bruises. Does the hand wound heal at the same rate in scenario 1 and 2?

Thanks. This has been bugging me all day.

Hey, i am a future wound specialist(it isnt a specialization yet, but it soon will be and i have taken part in the founding  charter to get it as a specialization(my real specialization is just primary, but i spend a lot of time doing woundcare)

theoretically, they should heal at the same time as long as they are both equally exposed to whatever microbes are around, equally exposed to the sane conditions. Now, the big part of this is that, as you get older, your body may start to change, perhaps you end up with vascular problems in your legs, so your back wound will heal quickly, but a leg wound will end up being a chronic wound due to vascular insufficiency. So, they would not heal at the same rate. If you have nerve damage, like diabetics with neuropathy, you cant feel the pressure points of your body, so you dont naturally shift around like normal people do to avoid pressure ulcers, so this could cause prolonged damage as the wound is trying to heal, thus slowing it way down, well, really, making it nearly impossible to heal. again, this is because of a vascular insufficiency caused by the pressure. If this doesnt adequately answer your question, just let me know. 

Bottom line, in a perfect environment and specimen, they would heal at the same rate. edit: but i have to say, realistically, no, no wounds heal the same on your body, there are just too many variables. Your vascular system isnt perfectly symmetrical, the environment of locations is different(too moist or too dry will make a wound take longer to heal), and microbes can stunt the healing. In a practical answer, no, they wont heak the same, but theoretically they could if the conditions were uniform. Sorry, at first i thought we were talking theoretically, but upon reading the question again, i think you were asking for a practical answer, so i just editted to include both.

Now, some parts of the body heal at faster rates, inside of your mouth etc, but i figure that wasnt what you were asking about.

Your body doesnt really prioritize wounds effectively, it is all about the right conditions. Just because a wound is around doesnt mean that the body naturally diverts enough blood flow to the wound, we have to synthetically do that with something called negative pressure treatment. 

Edit: Also, i should specify that all of this is from the context of an integumentary wound.
