Medical expenses deduction

In 2019 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went thru chemotherapy treatments in which I lost all my hair.  Can I deduct the cost of the wig I purchased if I don't have a prescription for it?

Medical expenses deduction

Wigs are deductible as a medical expense if they are purchased for chemotherapy-induced hair loss
