When I was a little kid I was allergic to tomatoes, chocolate, and strawberries. I outgrew them when I got older, but now I think my ketchup allergy is coming back. I always eat ketchup, and pizza, and pasta, and a few weeks ago I was breaking out on my face. But I have been eating it still and I haven't been breaking out...so what's going on??

And sometimes when I broke out I would break out on my arms and legs and it sucked because I would be scratching all the time...and my mom when I would go to put ketchup on something I put a lot of ketchup on whatever I was eating that goes good with ketchup...and then she would tell me on how I need to eat less ketchup...

Perhaps the breaking out had nothing to do with the ketchup/tomato--but something else. Either another allergy, or maybe something as simple as the hot weather. Could also be from greasy foods (chips, fries, anything deep fried), or from too much sugar.
Glad you haven't been breaking out now.

Listen to your mom, Honey. Apparently you are still allergic to tomatoes, or maybe to something in the ketchup.
Which means you shouldn't eat it at all.

May be the break out had nothing to do with the ketchup.
or
Maybe your body has adapted it's self to the ketchup.
Either way be careful
