No, with a 1600 deductible and a 3500 out of pocket I don't go to the doc unless it's absolutely necessary.

I'm prone to heat rash too, although typically I get it under close fitting clothes (bra and socks, and kinesio tape) and only running, when I don't have the wind chill of the bike. Maybe try pouring water on your legs periodically to help them cool?

Does it itch?
I agree that the place to start is a different sunscreen.
As a separate experiment, try an antihistimine (Zyrtec, Claritin or Allegra) and see if that makes the rash go away faster.
You might also find it helpful to search some reputable sites for info on skin rashes, hives, angioedema. Such as this one:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hiv...SECTION=causes
Ultimately you might find it helpful to invest in cycling clothes that cover more of your legs in hot weather, such as DeSoto leg coolers or Terry's summer knickers.
