Allergic dermatitis: A skin rash from tomatoes is commonly the result of allergic contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis is a skin condition in which the skin becomes inflamed by coming in direct contact with an allergen or irritant, such as tomatoes. An allergist can confirm this by performing a patch test on your skin. If it is positive, you may have to avoid contact. Topical Hydrocortisone can help now.

Yes: It seems at least a contact dermatitis from eating tomatoes. Other foods could do this as well. It is possible that cooked tomatoes would not have the same effect. It could be a sensitivity rather than an a classic allergy caused by and igg or ige mechanism.
