I'm new to dnd and a question popped in my head: if I compliment a creature while enchanting the words with the vicious mockery enchantments, Does the creature get healed?
No, the enchanted words from the spell can only hurt. Healing is a whole other can of beans.
If you made a cantrip that can heal people, then it's going to be very overpowered. You'll notice that there aren't any official cantrips that heal people. That's because people who have them would just be able to heal absolutely everybody during every period when there isn't an active fight. HP is supposed to be a resource for a whole day, so being able to fully restore it between encounters for zero cost is going to break a lot of the game.

Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.
Don't be mean. Rudeness is a vicious cycle, and it has to stop somewhere. Exceptions for things that are funny. Go to the current Competition of the Finest 'Brews! It's a cool place where cool people make cool things.

While I want to support everything folks do at their tables, I have to advise you to consider the implications.
Because V-M is a cantrip, a healing cantrip would be very powerful. Essentially it make healing practically unlimited outside of battle. This is the problem.
Bards can use Healing Word. Because that is a first level spell, it tracks with the requirement to use a resource to get some healing. Of course other options include a Short and a Long Rest. Other classes can heal damage with their spells and abilities, but everywhere healing damage requires the use of a resource, all-be-it sometimes just a little time.
So consider what's going on and maybe you can find another way.

Perhaps restrict it to combat. It's words of encouragement to undo the effects of VM. Or it has to be cast within six seconds of the damage caused.
Gets complicated though.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
As others have said it'll be over powered if it's just a cantrip so for balance reasons it needs some sort of limiting factor. I do really like the idea though of having a Vicious Compliment to go with Vicious Mockery.
One of the One D&D play tests had Bards with the ability to use their bardic inspiration as a healing thing so maybe tie that to your new cantrip? You get to use it without burning a spell slot but it instead burns a inspiration die, limiting how often you can use it
I have attempted to make a healing cantrip that is hopefully a bit balanced: Healing Surge

The issue with your spell, as mentioned by others, is that it is unlimited, resource free healing. That is incredibly overpowered.

Maybe make it have a material component with a cost, a silvered flower costing 75 sp or a shard from a mirror worth 50 gp (telling people they are as beautiful as the flower or look within the mirror to see your true potential or something something)

The cost is that you have to make the target blush

So, the healing version of vicious mockery is called healing word.....but you way looks fun as well.

The cost is that you have to make the target blush
