It's excess salts...they blow them out their noses. It's not a problem unless it blocks the nostrils...you can gently wipe it off if you want to.
 
As Kinyonga stated, definitely excess salt excretion. My chameleon experienced this when I first got him. I found the cause to be from the water I was using. I originally was using tap water then switched to filtered and distilled water and the excess salt excretion pretty much disappeared after a week or so.
 
My two females also get this from time to time. Your little one is cute! Mine only give me the two eye stare if I am hand feeding

Ah can’t hand feed mine he’s not social at all :/ this is my first chameleon so I probably did something wrong in the past that made him that way

Mine are completely different. Liza likes to run around and hunt her food while Stevie waits for it to come to her. During misting time, Liza will run and hide from the water while Stevie will walk up to the end of the mister and drink from it. Neither like to be removed from thier respective cages but calm down once they are out and about.

They all have their own personalities
