Question Blue Tang with cotton?

i have a blue hippo tang, have had her for about a year now, when we first got her we had some trouble and almost lost her to ick or some other stuff, she did not even swim, i had her in a q tank, and she had enough fight to get better. well about 2 days ago i noticed that she has these little cottonie puffs, looks like they are comming out from under her scales, they are about the size of a pencil head, and there are a bunch all over her, she is still swimming fine, and eating like a pig. i have not noticed any change in her habits.i also have a sailfin tang, some chromis, coral beauty, starry blenny, diamond goby, 6-line, and some fire fish, and none of them show any signs of spots, all acting normal. any idea on what it is or what i could do in my reef tank to help her? Thanks!
