I'd be far more worried about her respiratory infection than about unshed skin right now.
She needs medicine from a vet ASAP

I know how much you care about your cham
From your posts.
I suspect that you don't always see that there are additional replies to your earlier posts, which happens to everyone at times.
Please understand that this is not criticism.
I know from your posts that you care very much about your cham and want her to be happy and healthy.
I'm trying to provide you with advice that you asked for on how to help your cham so she has a long life with you.
Several things you stated indicate that she has a respiratory infection.
such as:
Your initial problem:
I also replied to that last post that I believe she has a respiratory infection which can only be treated with antibiotics from a vet.
I'm not a vet but a cham that isn't eating, naps during the day and has alot of mucus/spit in her mouth after having been kept in wet and cold condition (when the heatlamp was off to prevent evaporation) most likely has a respiratory infection. No cham will have every single symptom of a respiratory infection, though.

Sorry but, no. You need a vet. Call around and find a vet with chameleon experience then, ask if they can work with you on payments. Some will. This is one of the big expenses with chameleons but, they are fragile when they get sick and need vet care or it will get worse fast.

I'm very sorry to say that all that mcbdz has said is true.
By the time chams show signs of illness, it's that they have been sick but were able to hide it and now they can't hide it any longer.
That's why chameleons seem to "go downhill fast".
Check the ARAV website link below to see if there's a vet close to you and hopefully he or she would be willing to treat your cham and let you make payments.
If not, maybe a family member or friend would front you the cash.
Usually the cost is just for the exam time and the medicine.
