iPhone 7 Plus Screen Problem

I was cleaning my iPhone 7 Plus with some rubbing alcohol and a towel and all of a sudden I turn it on and it looks like some water has gotten under my screen. It looks kind of like a bubble with very faint lines going through it. However, the phone is fully functional and it looks fine when the phone is off. There are no cracks in the screen. Any ideas about what I should do? Thanks!

I'd just point out that most rubbing alcohol contains water and possibly bittering agents (especially if it's ethanol-based) to keep people from trying to drink it. The other thing is that any kind of solvent may attack the adhesive seals that provide water resistance. Also - Apple doesn't claim that water resistance lasts forever and the standard testing procedure is using plain water.


Looks like it went right through the seals.
