Internal cracks?

Hey guys, 2 few weeks ago I noticed my screen developed 2 faint lines but it isn't palpable (first photo).

The lines have now grown longer and it seems like there's air/moisture (?) growing from it (second photos). It's not the typical external crack so I'm wondering what caused this, and if anyone has had the same problem. Is it fixable?


Much appreciated



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

I have a similar issue. I’m going through a terrible experience at the moment with Apple support here. The store is agreeing to no physical damage but has been apparently told by Apple to specifically not cover this issue in warranty. It’ll cost me a $1000 to change the screen!!!


Apple support personal on call is not supportive either telling me it’s at the discretion of the store and they can’t do anything.
