Ipod Touch 4G Home Button Stuck

I have a 8 GB 4th Generation Ipod Touch. I bought it between June and July of 2012. I had never had problems with it until about a week ago. It was a

normal day, I was using it when I noticed I had to put greater force to my finger to press the home button. I thought it would go away, so I went on, (it was working) At night, I was using it again, and it was hard to press , so I pressed fairly hard, and the button felt numb. It was like stuck inside. What can I do?

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.3
