I thought shingles scars would just be present on left or right side of face? Mine were. I hope your eye was not damaged.

Can’t you bring a medical record to assuage any fears?

Technically, yes you can board the plane, but you will be at the mercy of crew and probably other employees who will decide whether to play doctor that day.
As per [MENTION=603255]arcticflier[/MENTION] your best bet is to get a Doctor's note, and even better, contact the airline for their medical form and have your doctor fill it out. Some airlines call it something on the lines of "Safe to Travel Medical Form" (so that you're not a harm to yourself or fellow passengers)... you get the gist.
