Seems that I remember from Bio 101 that the skin is the biggest organ of the body, so no, I don't think you're making a big deal over nothing. I'm not one to run to the doctor over every little thing, but I'd probably have it checked out, depending upon your level of discomfort and the amount of time that it lingers or recurs.

I have chronic eczema and controlled DH. (the rash associated with Celiac) Some things that aggravate breakouts are soaps, detergents, sweat, stress and foods. I typically go to the doc if anything is really bothering me, oozing, or when I have another symptom as well as the rash. (allergy type, pain, burning, flu feeling) The tricky thing with rashes are that some of the more persistent ones can be warning signs of other things, like cancers. (Don't panic, it is just some info) If it isn't bothering you and doesn't stay past a week, I wouldn't neccesarily go. Outside of that,(past a week, other symptoms, really bothering you) what can it hurt to have another opinion?

Strange - I have had a rash for 6 weeks in exactly the same places - pits and back. The GP yesterday figured it was from irritation from sweat (I run) and said I can't do much, but put on some cortisone cream if it gets really irritated. Hmmm.
