Cist? Burn? Bite? What is this????

[Calegrey]

Came home from work today, and brought Bug (aka .50 caliber) out for a moment while I fiddled with his plants a little (pothos ivy, training the feelers) and spotted two spots on the same side of his spikes/spines/back-ridge. One looks like a blister, or a boil maybe. The other looks a little like a bite from a cricket maybe?
Can someone please tell me what the heck has happened??
I've also noticed a little bit of almost a fading in his colors along his back.

Burn. The ooze is like pus. Looks like his whole spine is burned (that's he black line)...as well as his upper sides (the dark discoloration).

I have seen chameleons spines slough completely off from burns that started like this (they do not grow back)....you want to adjust your heat bulbs.

Looks like a burn 2 me also. I have one that I rescued that got a burn on his nose and it never grew back

I had a feeling it was a burn, the pus bubble looked like some I've had from bad sunburn and furnace incidents.
I've rearranged his lamps and uvb to prevent any worse from occurring. I have it about 10 degrees cooler now, he's not happy about that it seems, but he'll live at least. I feel dumber than I was, I knew the dome lamp I picked up was going to push more heat than the wire framed one but I didn't think it would be that much higher.
