Hard to say: Evaluation of a rash entails issues of location, appearance, texture or thickness of lesions, aggravating factors etc. Much of these things require a visual evaluation. Since many of the benign rashes fade on their own in a few weeks, it may do so and eliminate your need for further study. Sounds like you are on the right track.
