Brown spot on mouth

Luie has a brown spot on his lip. It will dry up, fall off and then come back again. It has been doing this over and over for about 2 months. I took him to the vet and of course the day of our apt. it had just fell off and the vet could not see anything. The vet looked all inside of his mouth and said he could not see anything and that everything inside the mouth looked good. It keeps coming back and it looks brown at first, then it turns black and dries up and falls off over and over again. Other than this spot he is very healthy. Have any of you ever seen anything like this before? Jann

Jann, did you ever find out what this was? I don't remember seeing a resolution on the forum.

I took Luie to the vet several times for this spot on his mouth and each time Dr. Alfonso said it was an over growth of skin on his lip that was not shedding off during his sheds. I was so worried that it was mouth rot or something but as he got older......it just went away.

The EXACT same thing is happening to my male panther chameleon right now! I have been stressing out trying to figure out what it is. Private message me please, I have some questions about what you did.
