TouchBar Problems

i have this blue stain on my M1 MbP TB 2020, have never dropped the mac to ground or water.

Touch Bar is working fine, but the blue stain makes me feel uncomfortable and i know there is something happening with it. Any Help?

If you still have an issue it could indicate a hardware issue:


user diagnostic...not as definitive as Apple's own AST2 (Apple Service Toolkit) back bench diagnostic, but may kick out an error code.
