The IRS defines medical expenses as costs for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for affecting any structure or function of the body. Products used for general skincare, cosmetic purposes, or overall health improvement are typically not considered medical expenses. However, if a CeraVe product is specifically recommended or prescribed by a doctor to treat a diagnosed medical condition, it may qualify.
