A picture would be helpful as some times it's hard to tell what it is just for a description. As for a blue tang do you mean a Hippo tang? If it's a Hippo tang they are substabale to getting dieases a lot more than other fish.
If it's just scrapes from the rock you should see it starting to heal up in a couple of days. If he is consistanly rubbing against rocks they he may have some thing. At that point you probably want to remove him to a QT tank.
Here is a good link to look at on fish diesases

It sounds like ick to me. Obviously I'm making that call without a picture, which isn't ideal, but white strings and scraping on rocks sounds pretty typically.
I would get him out of that tank and into a hospital tank. There are plenty of threads in the disease forum about different treatment options. I personally like hyposalinity, but you have to make sure you have a refractometer for good accuracy.
