i have found that i have an allergy to tomatos..however, not the ususal reaction. Instead of nasal symptoms, I break out on my face around the nose and chin areas (bad). Now, my son has the same reaction when he eats items such as ketchup and speghetti sauce. What’s a person to do. Internal medications don’t work! I’ve learned to monitor what I eat, but my son loves “Red” food. What do you suggest?

I have the same trouble! I have been working to figure out what is bothering my face…but realize that it must be tomotoes and tomato based foods. I get awful blemishes on my face…sometimes, and they are not normal ones. I am also exploring the thought that it might be dairy protein, although I eat that all the time and my breakouts are sporadic. Any help would be appreciated.

I have been battling withthe same problem.. i could not understand what was wrong with me..
it all started when i was 14 and this lead to years of bullying.. ‘rash face’ ‘red lips’ you get the idea..
nothing could make it go down i used to have to sit with ice wrapped in kitched roal to relief the pain and itching.. d
ermitoligists could not work it out.. it was lead to me ‘licking my lips to much’ something that i never did..
i was then left on my own with an ointment - that worked for a few hours and then would break out
sometimes i would have ok days, but the scaring became bad to the point that i was wearing white face paint under my foundation
i was never tested for tomato allergy till one day i nticed it being extreamly hard to breathe as i had tomato soup.. and then the face broke out again…
thinking back i had realised that i had always eatern tomato and tried cutting it out of my diet, within a few weeks the lips began to get better and after a few months all was left was some light scaring and an area of extreamly sensitive dry skin…
i went back to the doctors and asked for a test against tomato.. and the results were as i suspected… years of wating but fdinally i got it out of me..
but recently i am begining to get tingly lips back and sometimes my chest fals tight again..
i have heard that if you are allergic to tomato you are likeley to be allergic to potaoes.. i really hope i am not.. my diet is restriced soo much as is it.. ..
anyone got any advice on good meals not containing tomatoes or potatoes??
please help i dont want to o through this again…

I have the same problem with my skin. My face breaks out and I have terrible scaring. It takes awhile for my skin to heal. I have been tested for allergies and I have tested positive for tomatoes and potatoes. I eat them anyway but I have to suffer afterwards.

I also have the same problem. I had a constant rash around my nose and chin. eczma type of rash. I thought that it was a cheese allergy - so I cut out cheese. It went away for a while but then it came back even tho I hadnt had cheese. I went for an allergy test and found it was tomato that I was allergic to - Most of the meals i was having with cheese (that I had cut out) also had tomato like pizza and stuff. I wasnt in fact allergic to cheese but the tomato. I have noticed recently that it has come back - now I have noticed it when I drink wine??? could there be a connection? ….

I can’t believe I have finally found a website that has information about what I am going through. I have been dealing with a rash on my face that goes around the sides of my nose, down around my lips and chin. It is very red and dry and feels like a sunburn. I had suspiciion that it could be a tomato allergy or intollerance, so i have been surfing the net reading any and everyting about it. I have been to the doctor for it and they tested me for lupus,that came out negative, thank GOD! Anyway, I’m back to trying to figure it out on my own. I haven’t done any elimination of tomatoes from my diet yet, but I am going to do that now. Hope I get results and soon. I’m getting tired of having awful skin. P.S. A and D ointment works great for the extreme dry skin.

I also have been dealing with some skin issues. My face gets really red and extremeley dry around my nose and mouth and on my chin. I have been monitoring when it happens and what I have been eating, but it is hard. I am leaning towards tomato products. I appear to get this strange rash 1 to 2 days after I eat tomato based food. I went to the doctor and they tested me for Lupus, because of the rash. It was negative, thank God! I’m going to try elimination now so hopefully this will get figured out. Wish me luck!
