Does anyone have this or could give me some info on this(?) I keep getting this rash right where the waistband of underwear usually is. I used to think I was allergic to metals (buttons, belt buckles etc) but now I think it could be this. Thanks for your help. Also looking for info on tomato allergies.

With the waist bands, you're probably allergic to latex- which is used in a lot of materials like that. You might want to look at getting some different underwear.
As for tomato allergies- well, it's like any other food allergy. Unfortunately, tomatoes are widely used: Soups, ketchup, different Worcestershire and barbecue sauces, and other things. So you'll have to be extremely careful when you're getting food.
Good luck!

Yes. You are allergic to the latex in the waistband, be very careful of the leg bands as well. It is how I got Hidradenitis..took me forever to find underwear without elastic in it. As far as tomato allergies, it's best you have a food allergy test, and while you're at it, get tested for latex. It's a common allergy.
