I think it's best to have a vet check those spots just to be safe. Stomatitis (generic term for mouth rot) can be a real mess to treat and it's best to catch it early. It is also best to have your vet see your cham when he is in good shape so they know more about him if problems come up in future. What is the brand of halogen strip? I don't know of any strip lights other than the ReptiSun 5.0 by Zoo Med that produces much if any useable UVB. If it's not a Reptisun 5.0 I'd replace it, or plan to let your cham bask outdoors much more than he does now. It is very hard to "overdo" UVB exposure using artificial bulbs. Too much UVA from incandescent spots like the Dragonlite, Active UVHeat, mercury vapor, or halide types can burn, but using fluorescents is not likely to cause problems.
