Herpes and shingles are different viruses and different diseases, but neither makes riding a bike much fun!
Adamo saddles might be a good place to look for a super-giant cutout. I'd also look for something with either very little padding or very firm padding, to avoid chafing and prevent excess padding from bulging out into areas where you don't want contact. Be sure the saddle supports your sit-bones completely, so you don't end up weightbearing anywhere else.
I had chicken pox and am dreading the day I might have those nasty Varicella zoster cooties leap out of somnolence and give me shingles. People tell me it's just miserable. You have my sympathy!
