I think Tony might be looking at the two large pores, they can certainly be mistaken for giant flukes. I do see what you're talking about above the eye though, don't discount them thats for sure. I would certainly keep an eye on them. Tangs can be pretty bad for both flukes and ick. If it is flukes you will likely see them escalate in the next few days. There will be "rough patches" on the fish that look like mucous or frayed scales. Ick will look exactly like that, little white dots and I've found usually will go away on its own if the fish is eating well and not stressed.
FWIW, I'm with Tony, prazipro is a good thing to have on hand in your fishtank medicine arsenal. As for the ick, make sure your tang continues to eat and try to incorporate some garlic extract/garlic into the food if possible.
