INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Any over-the-counter non-irritating moisturizing agent can be helpful in eczema (because, as previously mentioned, eczema tends to go hand-in-hand with dry skin).  If over-the-counter moisturizers are insufficient, speak to your doctor about prescription moisturizing options. Often ointments can be more effective than over-the-counter lotions, as they form a stronger barrier to keep the skin's moisture in. They are also usually less irritating to your skin. Over-the-counter antihistamines may provide temporary relief from some of the symptoms of eczema, although they should be used with other treatments such as moisturizing. Stronger antihistamines may need to be prescribed by your doctor. Antihistamines that are also sedatives, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may help you sleep better, which could help with itching. Consult with your pediatrician before giving antihistamines to children, especially sedatives. An example of this would be hydrocortisone (the most commonly used), although there are also some stronger ones your doctor can prescribe if needed.  These work by diminishing the skin's "immune response," which in turn reduces inflammation, the size of the rash itself, and the itchiness. Corticosteroid creams or ointments applied to the skin are helpful and effective treatments for eczema, but you should always use them only as recommended by your doctor. Improper use of corticosteroids can cause infection, skin damage, or further irritation, among other side effects. Do not share your prescription creams with others, even if they also have eczema. Acupuncture is sometimes effective for relieving pain, and studies suggest that acupuncture may help reduce itchiness from eczema. Acupuncture generally does not produce severe side effects, so it may be a good choice if you are having trouble managing the itch with medication alone.  Look for an acupuncturist who is licensed by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). This non-profit agency helps regulate the practice of acupuncture for safety and effectiveness. Many insurance plans do not cover alternative therapies such as acupuncture. However, they may be more likely to do so if referred by your doctor. Consult with your doctor, who can help you find a licensed practitioner in your area. These medications are for short-term use only due to the potential side effects such as cataracts, osteoporosis, lowered infection resistance, high blood pressure, and thinning skin.  However, for short-term treatment of severe flare-ups your doctor may recommend briefly taking the pill form to get the rash and itch exacerbation under control. Other anti-inflammatory agents and immune-modulating pills may be prescribed if your condition is very severe. These treatments may include cyclosporine, methotrexate, or mycophenolate, all of which can have serious risks and side effects. Only you and your doctor can decide whether these treatments are right for you.

SUMMARY: Use moisturizers. Take oral antihistamines if itching is severe. Ask your doctor about "corticosteroid" creams or ointments. Talk with your doctor about acupuncture. Consider oral (pill form) corticosteroids for very severe flare-ups.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can also visit the North Pole by traveling overland from Russia or Canada, typically by skiing, dragging a sled called a "pulk," and camping on the ice. You can do this either by booking a private guide or entering a race.  There are several organized races to the North Pole, including the Polar Challenge and the North Pole Race, which take you 300 miles (480 km) over the ice to the magnetic north pole. Starting in 2016, the Ice Race will provide a similarly grueling overland trip. Expect to spend roughly $35,000 dollars to participate in one of these expeditions. The cost includes training, flights, equipment, food, and insurance. Because these races are only open to a relatively small number of people, you'll have to contact the organizers for more information about registration, cost, etc. The Ice Race has an online form you can fill out, or you can email the organizer. Note that these races take you to the magnetic North Pole (the point the compass points to), rather than the geographical "True North" North Pole. Private guides can also be hired for an even longer trip from Russia or Canada. This 500 mile trek is known as a "full distance" North Pole expedition. These expeditions typically depart in February.  The full distance trip is by far the most extreme and costly option, and is only open to those with the funds and experience to make the trek. You'll need to contact the company providing guides for pricing.  Adventure Consultants, one company that offers guides for full distance journeys, has a booking form on their website that you can fill out if you are serious about one of these trips. After you fill it out, they'll contact you to let you know whether you are eligible and if they can accommodate your adventure. To even consider one of these overland trips, you should be in excellent health and must be able to certify that this is the case. Additionally, some guides for full distance trips require climbing experience and in some cases even prior experience with an ice axe and crampons. Book a ticket to your starting point for your race or expedition.  Organized races typically start from Resolute Bay in the northern Canadian region of Nunavut. Regularly scheduled flights from major Canadian cities such as Ottawa and Montreal are available through the First Air, Calm Air, and Canadian North airlines.  Full distance trips typically leave from Cape Arktichevsky, Russia, or Ward Hunt Island, Canada. To reach either of these locations, you normally have to charter a private flight, which can be extremely costly. If you take one of these trips through Adventure Consultants, however, they will organize a flight to Ward Hunt Island from Resolute Bay. Head north with your expedition until you reach the pole. These overland trips are grueling. You and your team or guide will spend 8-10 hours each day skiing over snow and ice.  This journey is treacherous, and will require you to navigate over pressure ridges, search for routes around areas where the ice has melted, and camp on pans of ice.  At night, you'll take part in cooking dinner, and set up camp by building snow walls to block the wind. Temperatures can be as low as -40 degrees. If you are going with one of the race groups, expect to spend about four weeks on the ice. If you are going on a full distance trip, you should expect to spend roughly 60 days.  Some of the races and some private guides also have options for shorter trips that begin closer to the pole and only take about two weeks. If you can't commit to a month or more on the ice, it may be worth considering one of these options. Upon reaching the pole, you'll either camp there for the night, or be picked up by a helicopter and taken to Barneo ice station to spend the night, depending on conditions.The next day, you'll enjoy a hot meal at Barneo before flying back to civilization.
Summary: Book a guide or enter a race. Fly to Russia or Canada. Ski north.
