M1 Max corner of screen glass crack or Dirt?

This is the problem, and I have been noticing this for weeks, and when I went to clean my macbook after some time, and this wouldn't come of. It did get smaller, but I dont know if I should grab a small spudger to scrape it off carefully, or am I led to believe this is a small crack in the bezel. Reguadless, any feedback to what it might be may be helpful. Thank you!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.4

That one spot looks like the rubber gasket is a bit damaged and there is a pressure fracture in the display's glass at the very edge at the same spot.


FYI, the Bezel is only located on the narrow band at the bottom of the Display where the product name is displayed "MacBook Pro". The rest of the glass is the whole screen out to the rubber gasket. Definitely do not put any pressure on the Bezel area since that glass is very fragile & brittle since it is mostly hollow beneath the Bezel except for multiple thin flex cables for the Display Assembly.
