Can you provide any photos? This might be blossom end rot, which is caused by calcium deficiency. Watering evenly can help to alleviate the issue, and a calcium nitrate soil application or 1% calcium chloride spray can increase calcium availability to the plant. Avoid manure or high nitrogen fertilizers. The following link provides some helpful information:
