Hmmmm.

What brand and type is this light.
I don't believe this is recommended to provide adequate UVB.

It doesn't look like a burn to me.
How long have you had the animal?
WC or CB?

I see

I think the problem is my basking light. It is too closely to safe. If it was burned by heat, will it grows new?

It really just looks like he rubbed off the outer part of the scales. I don't think this will cause any issue since its so minor.

No, i dont think so, its just like scar tissue now, maybe he will be able to heal a bit. but nonethless he still looks great and the ladies like the rugged look

You definately want to get a tube style Fluorecent UV fixture... Those bulbs have shown to emit levels of UV that can be harmful to your Chams eyes.

Now I use uvb tube as ZOOMED 10.0 instead of original lighting. Is it will be OK?

Mistake

The type of uvb tube is not zoomed. It is HAGEN.
