Scars or parasite?

[Fin-up reefing]

I have a large chocolate tang and he has these black scar looking things on his face and above his lateral line.. before I got him I know he had ich and my store treated him with copper, he also had flukes and was also treated. So are they scars maybe? He eats a lot and is active

You need to provide pictures.

the only problem is my camera will not pick up the spots, he’s very difficult to take pics of. Honestly they difficult to see in person too.

Beautiful fish BTW! I cant see anything in the pic.

I agree. Difficult to determine anything from that picture.

Yeah pic is hard to see anything wrong. Just keep an eye on him, more than likely it's nothing, just markings or scars if you don't see it spread or change.

Yea it’s hard to get a picture but he seems healthy, if anything seems wrong I’ll put him in QT

Here's a great thread of pictures by Meredith. See if you find anything that looks similar. Hope this helps a bit: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/fish-disease-index-pictorial-guide.285708/#post-3473098

Possibly HLLE or Head & Lateral Line Erosion. Common among tangs, but can be restored with good food & water, and some attention to any activated-carbon dust in the water.
