I have a couple of tomatoes that have some unusual damage. Lets start with the mildest first, and work up to the really ugly.

Is this Thrip damage or weather/environmental damage?

Now for the really ugly, lol.

Is this just cat facing or worm damage or something else? All the tiny holes in the scarred area are what are making me wonder what it is. Did something just eat into it and reach the gel/seed area and it just scarred over, or are those wholes mad by an insect of some kind?

Lastly, would you cut off the bad side and eat the good side and peel the yellow one and use it or toss these?
