You can go if you follow these advise.
Detailed Answer:
HI
Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.
I saw the picture uploaded by you, well the lesions are not very severe in will start healing in 3-4 days . But what am I concerned is the swelling around your right eye.
If not tested kindly get your eyes tested as Herpes Zoster can affect the eye and even cause blindness.
Second point is , once the skin lesions starts healing you may experience a sharp pain in the region of skin lesions. This pain is some is of mild in intensity and in some could be very severe.
So , see for 4-5 days and if the pain becomes unbearable consult your doctor and get the necessary medications for that ( Usually I recommend Pregabalin for my patients ).
If these things are taken care , then there is no need to worry and you can go to Goa .
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
Regards.
