Rash on face, burning sensation on lower body. Ate large quantity of tomatoes. Cause of rash?
Patient: I have recently noticed a rash on my face and also a burning sensation on my lower body which I know is not a bladder infection because it is on the outside of the body.  I have been eating a huge amount of fresh garden tomatoes lately and am wondering if the acid in the tomatoes could be causing my problems.  It's is the only thing I can pinpoint that may be causing the red rash on my face and also on my bottom.  Please let me know is this is possibly the cause. Doctor: Hello.tomato contains citric acid .when eaten in huge amounts it causes rash and burning sensation.use antihistamine.antibiotic.pantaprozole and calamine lotion
