Bump on head

[ReptileAce]

A bit concerned recently as I've noticed a bump on my girly's head, been keeping an eye on it but nothings changed. I haven't noticed anything different about her except that, not sure if it's bothering her or not. Any ideas ?? Wanting to take her to the vet soon if I need to

this looks very similar to the bump on spaghettis nose @Gloriawood Best bet would be to get it checked out by a vet, but there will be more experienced people who may know what it is! I’ve heard that bumps could be papilloma but i’m not very sure!

I agree a vet is in order here. Could be a few different things for sure in that area.

Agree that vet is the best course of action. Looks like it could be a infection

I would see about getting to the vet. We are going through this right now like @yungzerk mentioned. It looks just like a bump that showed up on my guy’s nose recently. He acted no different and it didn’t seem to bother him at all. But chams are masters at hiding any illness. Turned out to be a small infection. He has surgery this afternoon to clean it out and drain it. I’ll attach a photo of Spaghetti’s bump so you can see.

Can you please post a couple more photos of the bump including one from above?

Hi and welcome to the forum. I agree with everyone that a vet visit is your best course of action. If it is an infection, it will need to be thoroughly cleaned out - chameleon pus is thick like cottage cheese and does not go away simply from antibiotics.

Going to get her into the vet as soon as possible, thank you guys so much for your input! I'll try and see if I can get some clearer photos of the bump later, as I'm not home right now haha

Just make sure it is a vet that actually know reptiles at the very least.
