Hi, thanks for your query.
It seems that you have rashes on the exposed parts of body that is forehead, around eyes, arms and neck. It may be contact dermatitis or related to sun exposure. It is very unlikely to be due to tomatoes.

Use a mild cleanser and good emollient for face regularly.
You may apply a mild steroid twice a day and anti histamine for a week or so.

If it does not improve or worsens then you may consult a dermatologist for examination and treatment.

Hope this helps you.
