well...he looks to be maybe 5 months old? I'm just guessing on that. He's hitting the age where they don't shed all the time. And, they can keep a bit of shed all the way up until they shed again.

I'll admit, I'm not sure what you're saying about the area between his eyes. I'm thinking the picture you posted wasn't your chameleon.

A possibility on the white around the mouth is that it's basically calcium from the water and feeders that sort of gets left on the lips as he drinks and eats. You could try putting a little mineral oil on a Qtip and seeing if you can wipe it off. If that's what it is, it's not something you need to worry about.
 
If its the coloring I see in the pic it is normal. Chams skin is acctually very clear and it is chem, reaction under the skin that causes the colors I have seen my veiled chams often show almost no color and very white areas the same as yours.
A bit better pics mat also help.
