Here’s an article I found about where shingles can occur:

A typical shingles rash follows the path of certain nerves on one side of the body - generally on the trunk, buttocks, neck, face or scalp - and usually stops abruptly at the midline. Shingles is common in the elderly and rarely seen in younger adults. About two-thirds of all cases occur in persons over the age of 50. It affects both sexes equally.
