herpes zoster is unsightly, but it is not a reason to stay home, it is not chicken pox (as the previous poster indicated) it is a result of having had chicken pox at one time, then the virus mutates and lives in the nervous system, it then expresses itself as small blisters and sores on the lips or face. It is transmissable thru kissing or oral sex, but I doubt you'd be doing that in school. So, suck it up, stop being so obsessive about your appearance and be more concerned with getting an education.
