What Causes An Itchy Rash On The Back?

I have a slight itchy rash on my back. Just noticed within the past couple of days. Not severe, but a little worried. I am getting ready to have a parathyroid operation in two weeks. Should I let my doctor know about this recent rash or just give it a few days to see if it is nothing?
