naso tang stuff on face?

[enemec1]

I have a naso tang in my tank, just recently I have noticed that he has about 3 areas on his face not doing well. they look like open wounds with white spots around it. he still eats no signs of scraching on the rocks.
anyone have any Idea what this could be? I will try to get some pics later

Open soars around the head makes me think Lateral Line Erosion, aka Hole in the Head disease, but I would hate to go out on a limb and assume that without pictures.

What are your water parameters like? How long has the tank been running? How long have you had the tang? Do you have any history of disease or parasites in the tank?

the tank has been running for a few months after i upgraded to the 210. parameters are good, had tang for about 3 weeks, no know problems with parasites.
