Yikes! What is this? BER? See pic.

I went out to check over my plants and found this on one of the larger ripening tomatoes on the "Patio" derterminate bush. I've seen lots of posts here dealing with BER, but have never had it before. Do you think this is what this brown spot is?

Si, err yes, its BER :?

Is it in a pot or ground. Hows the watering situation going?

It's in a pot. I try not to under or over-water, but if I had to guess at one of these it would be over-watering I suppose. I should cut back on the water then?

Be sure to read the [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25876]Sticky[/url] about BER at the top of the Tomato Forum before taking (or not taking) any action.
