Help with Shedding issue :(

[BallstoWall30]

Ok so I got a new Cham he is about 3 months old now and had a full body shed like 2 and a half weeks ago and the only place he is still shedding is on his head between his eyes.... but the problem I am having right now is that maybe there is an infection or maybe a burn or something??? Idk but i have a pic of it. They are like little black bumps mixed in with the shedding skin. Idk if its just how he is or what bc he started shedding like the day after I bought him. Does anyone know what these little bumps are??? I hope he okay

Is your enclosure humid enough? Mouth looks strange to me too.

Yes humidity is important for this process, throw up a pic of his housing, and more of him please...

 

[BallstoWall30]

yea its usually 60% humidity and I mist it like 3 to 4 times a day and he has a dripper I fill up twice a day. But when Im not home for a while it goes down to 40%

That doesnt sound bad, maybe a better pic of his head at different angles, I thought if the peeling skin had got wet and then rotted, and stuck to his head it could look like this. But I have nothing to compare to so...

PS He looks pretty dry and pale in this pic

Here is the pic of his housing....

I even have shower curtains to keep in humidity so Idk, I give him a warm bath for 20 min everyday too to hopefully get rid of that shedding skin but nothing is working

Where is your hygrometer located in that thing?
Define "warm bath" please

 

[BallstoWall30]

its in the back, the thermometer is located on the left side at the top and the hygrometer is in the middle in the back on the left side right above my plant.... should I move it? Also, warm bath, is I bring him outside and get some warm water in a spray bottle and spray him down. I tried to give him bath but he wasnt having that lol, started freaking out.

I have two hygrometers/thermometers, because I noticed that the temp/humidity varies greatly in different parts of the enclosure, but just make sure your keeping them about the are he hangs out in, or move them around to see what your top level, mid level, and bottom level are at, that way you KNOW.
No, do not submerge him!
My jackson just shed, to help get his more troublesome spots off I did mist down the effected areas, but you could drown him easily since thats his face.
Try carefully putting a drop of water on the area a few times to moisten it, then maybe see if it comes loose, with like a q-tip at first, see if he acts like its sore or hurts him, if so stop, and go to the vet is all I can really say...

yea he wont even let me come near his nose and it seems like those black bumps are entwined with the skin that is stuck... Do you know how I can find a for chameleons in San Diego, CA?

I meant vet lol

Yeah you need to see a vet. But I used VETERICYN wound & infection treatment. for one of my boys with a really bad shed issue and it has helped him way more then I thought it would. I got this med at the feed store or you can get it on amazon.com.
