Chameleon black spots

[chamlover18]

I've got a female veiled, she's a little over a year. recently she's been developing black dots around her eyes and top of her head. I've attached a picture. They do fade and get darker. I thought they might be from distress but when they appear the rest of her body is light green. They just started within the past month or so. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Ever figure anything out about the black spots? My cham has just developed the same thing, only on one eye, that we think has an infection it is closed all the time. Been to vet and got antibiotic but it hasn't helped. Black spots are new today. Thanks

I'm not sure what these spots are......maybe some of the Sr. members will know.

My panther cham also has a couple spots like that. I only noticed them after she shed. I don't know what it is either if you find out, let me know!

Yoshi just shed too...Hmmmm. I thought it might be scratched because he's been rubbing his hurt eye on vines and such.

looks to me like bruised areas from rubbing against stuff, but that's just my opinion

Its hard to be sure...are they spreading? Increasing in size? Are there any blisters on the chameleon?

Is it possible she is rubbing herself on the side of the screen cage she is in? I've noticed my male veiled rubbing his head on the screen and those developed. I moved his branch away from the side of the case and they slowly went away.

chamelizzlz4shizzl seems to be having the same problem and thus resurrected the post.

Just a wild guess here, but could the spots be a form of a zit? So if there wasn't enough misting going on when the chameleon shed, perhaps its pores got plugged up with old skin/dirt/cage crud or perhaps hard water?
