A member asked:
Can eating 1 grapefruit a day for whole 3weeks make the ulcer on lower labial frenum take longer time to heal? because it's been there 3weeks not heal

Yes: Grapefruits and other citrus fruits contain a lot of acid and could delay healing in the mouth. I would suggest that you avoid acidic foods until this ulcer is healed up. If it is not healing see a doctor.
