Watery Rotty Areas on Tomatoes!

GoDawgs · June 26, 2018

I've looked through all the tomato disease links I have, including that wonderful Tomato Fruit Disorders pdf here but I can't find the problem several tomatoes here have just had. Can anyone help with an ID?

This is a Golden Girl and it has a soft fluid-filled area on the side and I found another one like it on a Creole too. Two days ago my sister found a tomato completely gone with it, like a bag of nastiness that smelled to high heaven. I've never encountered this before and it's just started. A close inspection shows no other fruit involved so far.

Any recommendations on what it is and how to protect the other tomatoes?
