If you have some aloe vera gel laying around the house that is all natural it should really help. Most grocery stores or pharmacies should sell it too for about 5 bucks

You can use neosporin, just make sure it isn't the pain relieving kind, you need plain neosporin,

Yes, the non-pain killing nepsporin is good. She will likely be fine, they tend to heal well from this kind of injury. Obviously, the basking light is too close and you need to move it away. Chameleons will base their temperature on what their internal temperature is, so despite the fact that the skin is getting hot enough to burn, their internal temperature is not as hot as they want, so they stay under it. Good luck with her. I'm sure she'll be OK.

i live in sweden and sadly neosporin is banned here. I found a gel in my house but i am not sure if i can use it its aloe vera gel 97% aloe vera and contains aloe barbadensis leaf, Aqua, Xanthan gum, Tocopheryl Acetate sodium hyrdoxide phenoxyethanol sodium benzoate. Please reaply if you think its safe to use or not
