White spot on LCD screen? (not a dead pixel)

[np27404]

This morning I noticed a soft white spot on the lower left corner of my Macbook. It's not a dead pixel. I've seen those before and this is different. This spot only shows up as a light spot when the screen has a light background. On a darker screen it totally disappears. The spot is a few mm in size and.

I've examined the top of the LCD case and it's smooth. The Macbook has not been dropped in anyway. Any ideas?

so for anyone who has this problem, 8 years later, i tried massaging the spot and i was so surprised to find that it disappeared!!! all you have to do is rub your finger on the spot in a circular motion for 1 - 2 minutes and it'll be gone! you need to rub pretty hard for this to work

hope it helps
