I'm assuming this is a freshwater angelfish for my answer - if it's saltwater, please post an edit.
The white mark could be the beginning of "cottonmouth", which is a bacterial infection that appears more like a fungus. To treat this, you'll need to use an antibiotic that specifies that it will treat Columnaris: http://www.fishdeals.com/fish_diseases/cotton_mouth/
