wart like?affliction.

[Nox]

hello, i realised a week or so ago a small white crusty like lump on the left side of my yemen chameleons head. at first i thought it was retained shed so i left it and it seems to be getting larger. she's 1 year old and very healthy. i took to it today and (gently!) removed shed from ontop and just around (with sterilised unused tweezers!) all i can describe it as is a wart/verruca sort of affliction. i was just wondering if anyone could shine some light on our problem. also she has a brand new 5.0 uv tube and we use calcium and nutrobol etc.
i am obviously going to take her to the vet when possible as i work ridiculous hours now.
thanks, =]

here is an image of when it first started (quality is bad i know) and the other i have just taken.

the first image should be the lighter colour one.

It could be some sort of infectous abscess.

You may wantto find a vet for that.

Does it feel squishy?

I recently saw a member who had cham that had something similar, and when rubbed the knot thing came off, leaving a hole where it was.

ill see if I can find the thread.

I don't think its life threatening, but I would try to keep it clean, and keep an eye on it,and get to a vet as soon as you can.

and if they say its nothing, run away, and get a new vet.
