Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

This could be a wound, a sore or an indicator of a more serious problem. You need to take it to a qualified reptile vet if you are concerned. No one can diagnose the problem over an internet forum. For the animals sake and your peace of mind take it to a vet.

Your Chameleon might not be a Jackson..... he might be a Johnston!!
Did you check on the web or refer to some books regarding chameleon? In my experience, the chameleon you have is not a Jackson's Chameleon but a Johnston's Chameleon. This species of chameleon is very hardy but with one problem.......they are prone to edema......!!!!!
To differentiate Jackson from Johnston...... All 3 horns of Jackson are curved upward while both Johnston's preorbital horn usually curved downward and rostral horn are curver upward!!!!

Sorry, that is a Chamaeleo (Trioceros) jacksonii xantholophus. C. j. xantholophus have a dorsal crest where Chamaeleo (Trioceros) johnstoni lack a dorsal crest. While these two species are very similar in appearance the animal pictured is quite obviously a jacksonii xantholophus.

That is absolutely a Ch. jacksonii xantholophus. Using the shape of the horns to differentiate between jacksonii and johnstonii is not an accurate method. As Jason said, the easiest way is to look at the dorsal crest for these two species.
