Where would you get a wild 3 week old veiled?

I would talk to the breeder, this baby came from, who I hope is local to you and see if they have any advice. The other option is see a vet.

Setup details PLEASE! This could be anything from a thermal burn to a bacterial or fungal infection to an abscess, to an insect bite. Check your temps and lighting...marks on the upper back are often burns from heat spots.

If the photo was taken in the wild, why would he be asking about it?

Looks like those are plastic plants in the background.

Newbie, the spot in question is not clear enough in the photo for us to make an intelligent assessment. Is this your chameleon? If this is a member of a clutch, and is being kept with clutchmates, then I would check to see if this is a bit of poo or urate on your chameleon's side. That is not uncommon with babies housed together. Try to moisten the area and clean it off with a damp cloth or Q-tip. If it doesn't clean off then try to get a very focused photo of the area in question.

Not just you. I don't think the chameleon in question is long for this world.
