Koran angels often get "fright spots" from numerous causes. Stress, poor water quality and poor diet can all contribute to white blotches and/or fading/loss of color. If it appears your angel does not have HLLE try checking for the contributors to the fright spots. make sure you are feeding him an adequate diet for the species, water parameters are within acceptable limits, and there is no aggression .
Your initial desrciption sounds like it could be HLLE, but your later descriptions sounds like "fright spots". COuld be both. The cure and/or reversal for both is found in what I have posted. No need for meds.....check your system and his diet. You need to provide hima regular source of sponge...use angel formula.
