Could Chinese Cupping Treatment Be The Reason For Burning Sensation On Back?

Hi there, I just got a Chinese cupping treatment, which I wasn t briefed for at all, and I am now in an intense pain with burns on my back. The marks are enflamed and very painful to touch, they gave me no aftercare or advice, I was wondering if you could help me?
