If you or your child are constantly dealing with red, itchy skin that just won’t quit, you’re not alone—and you're in the right place. At MG Allergy in Newport Beach, we specialize in helping people uncover the why behind their eczema and find personalized, long-term relief.

What Is Eczema?

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes:

Dryness
Redness
Intense itching
Scaling or flaking
And in some cases, oozing or crusting

It can be triggered by a range of things—from your environment and immune system to stress, allergies, and even weather patterns right here in coastal Southern California.

Why Patients in Newport Beach Are Seeing More Eczema

Living near the coast has its perks—but for many patients in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and the greater Orange County area, we also see frequent eczema flares caused by:

Salt air + wind exposure
Seasonal changes in humidity
Environmental allergens like dust mites, mold, and pollen
Sunscreen ingredients and personal care products

That’s why we take a local lens when evaluating your symptoms—because where you live matters when it comes to your skin.

The Role of Allergies and the Skin Barrier

Many of our patients with eczema also have:

Food sensitivities or allergies (especially to dairy, eggs, soy, or nuts)
Seasonal allergies or asthma (known as the atopic triad)
A compromised skin barrier that lets in irritants more easily

We use allergy testing, environmental assessments, and barrier-focused skin support to get to the root of what's driving your eczema flares.

How We Treat Eczema at MG Allergy in Newport Beach

At our Newport Beach clinic, eczema care is never one-size-fits-all. Your treatment may include:

Medical-grade moisturizers to repair the skin barrier
Topical anti-inflammatory creams or non-steroid options
Allergy testing (including food and environmental)
Diet and gut-health support
Stress and lifestyle management tools
Referrals to trusted dermatologists when needed

We also help patients with eczema in children, tailoring care that’s gentle, effective, and age-appropriate.
