You lose.

Rule 4-12, Section B-3-c:

"No batter who is hit by a pitch shall rub, massage, or otherwise touch any spot where a pitch has hit him."

Penalty: The batter is out.

You are, of course, correct.
For games subject to media scrutiny, players are not allowed to touch certain parts of their body.
