Histamine, a compound found in tomatoes, causes allergic reactions. Allergy symptoms such as skin problems, wheezing, sniffling, and throat itching may appear immediately after consumption. Tomatoes can also cause dermatitis, a condition in which your skin becomes highly scratchy and swollen after coming into contact with the fruit. Tomatoes can also cause itchiness on the lips. Another tomato-related allergic reaction is a red spot around the brows and eyelids.
