Looks like it has a few things going on. Dry it off with paper towel and get a better picture? Is this the only fish?

How long have you had, and did it have this before? How long did take? I was thinking sores maybe something else but cant see well. Does the other side have tiny white spots? Now must keep close eye on other fish.

Blue Hippo Tang and ich
Can anyone tell me if my Tang has ich? The pictures are not the best but she just wouldn't hold still when I asked her to.

I agree velvet usually can kill things faster. This speed and other symptoms can prove important to id between the two. sometimes and its not always visible. This why is it is important to keep very close eye on others now. How many others? The sore could be more than an injury. That looks pretty brutal. Better picture would help. It could be something flesh eating. Which may or may not effect the other fish. Throw fish disease questions in that section of the forum and it will usually get good help. Tag staff member @Jay Hemdal he knows good information as well.
