My chameleon has been acting different lately. Her eyes have sunk in a lot and she can barely keep them open. It also looks like around her head she now has dark marks if anyone knows what this is and how to fix it plz help. Soaking in a humid shower looks like it’s been helping but not back to full health

shes really skinny and it looks like shes been burnt, how hot is her basking? she is also severely dehydrated.
 
Really underweight and dehydrated. You need to post the Help Form with all the questions answered in order for us to begin to help you out.

Judging my the photos of how pale she is, you dont have much time until shes passes away.... Sorry to say that but a chameleon does not get in that condition suddenly. Something or multiple things have been wrong with your husbandry for a while.
 
To me, those sunken eyes look like "end of life" eyes and not "merely dehydrated" eyes. I fear we were already too late for this girl, but I hope that I'm wrong...
