Hey my chameleons been producing this white stuff out of her nose looks like shed but gives to easy to be shed, every time I see it I wipe it off because it looks like its clogging up her nostrils. I’ve heard it can be from over dusting I dust every day with calcium and twice per month with vitamins plus D3. Shes 7 and half and I give her drip water near one of her fav climbing spots as well as misting at least 3 times a day sometimes more i also use a mister for 30 minutes at night. I don’t have a photo of her with the stuff but here’s some photos from google that seem to have the same issue.

This is what's known in cham land as snalt. A mixture of salt and water that chameleons secrete from their nasal salt glands. It's normal and harmless; using tap water seems to cause it more than if you use reverse osmosis, or distilled water.
 
She is 7.5 years old? It can also be linked to heavily dusting your insects. When you get a chance post a picture of your chameleon instead of the googled images you used.
