Hi Suncruz:
If you are talking about a black spot on the bottom (?) of the tomato it could be blossom end rot – very common when the plant doesn’t get enough calcium. Also, check your tomatoes for little insect holes – I’m an “organic” gardener – no pesticides for me but there is the inevitable downside. Hope this is helpful
