Shaving with prurigo nodularis on your calves can be tricky, especially with a nickel allergy. Here are some tips to consider:

- Avoid Scratching: Scratching can worsen the condition and lead to more nodules and infection.
- Use a Nickel-Free Razor: Since you have a nickel allergy, ensure your razor is nickel-free to avoid allergic reactions.
- Electric Shaver: If your electric shaver is nickel-free, it might be a gentler option.
- Moisturize: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and reduce irritation.
- Cold Compression: Use an ice pack or cold, wet cloth on the affected area for 5-10 minutes to reduce itching before shaving.

Always test any new product on a small area first to ensure it doesn't irritate your skin.
