Grapefruit + Other Fruit Concerns...!

So I know that grapefruit is apparently a no no for many medications - and that isn't really an issue for me since I don't eat grapefruit.

How about other citrus fruit?  Like oranges and lemons and limes?  Or even apples?

Also - I noticed that sometimes grapefruit extract is used in skin care products.  I checked the things I use and I don't see any grapefruit extract in the ingredients, but if grapefruit extract is listed in a skincare product - should I steer clear?  Idk if it can actually enter your body if it's just topical.

Sorry if this seems crazy - I can have bad health anxiety flare up at times and this is the latest fear on my mind. sad
