Question about shedding

[l0u1ss]

Quick question about my chameleons last shed. He shed his whole body about a week ago but still has a little patch of skin stuck to his nostril that doesnt seem to want to come off. Is there any negative health effects to this? Should I try to physically remove it or just leave it alone? I know if shed skin is left on the tail it can have some serious negative effects. He's pretty shy and is very scared of me when I go in the cage so if possible I would like to not have to touch him at all. Just wondering what you guys think. Thanks

Just leave it or if you can get close to him, you could take a wet qtip and try and remove it with that or try misting him down with some warm water if he will not run away. There is no ill effects from this that I know of.
