Original

These days my body are too itch, because I did moxibustion on my body, and it is a Chinese medicine treatment. I did this in a beauty salon, and the beautician said there were a lot of damp in my body, so I got of rashes on my body, and they were too itch and I can’t stop scratching them. But I’m also afraid of breaking the skin and Leaving a scar. I already had a few of small scars, so I should be careful of this and don’t let them get bigger. But according to my life experience, I think they will disappear soon or later.

Corrected

These past few days, my body has been feeling too itchy because I went for a Chinese medicine treatment. I did this at a beauty salon, and the beautician told me that I had too much humidity or dampness inside my body. So after she gave me the treatment to pull out/draw out some of the humidity, I started getting rashes all over my body. These were very itchy and I couldn’t stop scratching them. But I’m also afraid of breaking the skin and leaving a scar. I already had a few small scars, so I should be careful of this and not let them get bigger. But according to my life experience, I think they will disappear sooner or later.
