Get it to a vet! You will probably need antibiotics or some sort of ointment. This will treat the disease, but you need to make sure that you fix whatever caused it. Hope this helps.

Take to a vet IMMEDIATELY!!! Look for one that specializes in reptiles, preferrably having experience with chameleons. One cause can be a calcium/vitamin deficit in your chams diet. Or improper lighting.
