That looks like the peeling anti-reflective coating. If the laptop is less than four years old you have Apple replace the Display for free under a "secret" free repair program:

If the laptop is more than four years old, then you will have to live with the issue and just be glad it isn't occurring on the center of the screen. Just minimize touching or cleaning the Display to minimize the coating from peeling from the viewable center area of the screen.
