Could be other things...angels sometimes get "fright" spots from stress. What kind of angel do you have? Size set-up? Diet? Size of the fish? Filtration? Water parameters? Are you sure it was ich?

Can you post a pic. It could be a couple things. He could be changing to adult clors or it could be fright spots. When these angels get stressed they will often show bleached out areas. Since he is battling ich it could be fright spots. Could also be poor water qualtiy. Test your parameters to make sure they are within acceptable limits.
large angels do better in systems with plenty live rock, good water quality and a good protein skimmer.
It would help if you post a pic.

Looks like he is changing but also I beleive he has some "fright" spots usually caused by stress and/or disease.
Poor water quality can also cause the fright spots. How is the ich and how are you treating the disease?
Test your water parameters in order to determine if you have a water quality issue which can also cause a disease issue if present in your system.
He is not happy or feeling well if he is hiding more than usual. Also, make sure none of your other fish are picking on him.
