Chameleon Eye when shedding

My cham started shedding on his head last night, and since this morning he has had dead skin on his eye. He's been rubbing it on a branch and I held him under a warm shower for awhile, which he really seemed to like. After his shower, though, his eye started looking really weird. After he rubs it, it looks like there is a bulge next to his eyeball that is purpleish. I finally got a couple pictures of it:

Should I take him to the vet, or could this be normal when shedding?
Should I be doing anything besides extra misting to help him shed?
 
No, it goes away but when he rubs his eye on the branch again because the skin is still there it comes back for about a minute
 
I'm certainly no expert but seems no one else has thought to answer ill tell u I think it's his way of cleanin their eyes. They close them then bulge them out. I don't know why it's purple tho... Sorry I couldn't help more
