Greetings, Aminatuu.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We can understand why you’d want to figure out what’s causing the damage to your iPhone. 


You mentioned using Dettol wipes. Per Apple: “Your iPhone has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic — oil repellent — coating. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will diminish the coating and might scratch your iPhone. ” Cleaning your iPhone


At this point it would be best to Contact Apple Support to explore your options. 


We hope this helps! Thank you for being a part of the community. 


Best wishes.
