How can I save my MacBook Air after nail polish remover spill?

Hi, I accidentally spilled nail polish remover on the corner of my mac air screen. It’s now slightly blue and the corner is a bright white and I’m scared it’s going to be like that forever or will completely break down. I only spilled it about 30 minutes ago and it seems to be working fine but I have completely shut it down and am hoping that it will be fine in the morning. Does anyone know how I can save my Mac or if it’s ruined for good and I need to get it replaced? Any help will be appreciated.

Depends on the volume of liquid and where it went. Damage to the display will likely not heal itself. If you have AppleCare+ the repair will be covered as damage (with a fixed charge), else you'll need to pay for a repair. I'd suggesting backing up your Mac ASAP (hopefully you're doing so regularly already).
