Why
What the IRS rules say
These are general personal hygiene products, not treatments for a medical condition, so the IRS excludes them. A medicated shampoo prescribed to treat a diagnosed scalp condition is a separate case that may require a Letter of Medical Necessity.
Based on IRS Publication 502.
