Do I have a DEAD PIXEL?

Ok so I woke up this morning played a little dying light when I notcied in the bottom left corner what seemed to be a dead pixel. I am pretty pissed off. But here is the thing when I fully shut down my monitor I can still see the dead pixel?? So is it just dirt? However when I used some toilet paper I couldn't get it off so I am so confused. 

 

Here are some pictures

It was really hard to see the dead pixel through my phone camera but I tried to circle it and I used a different method so you can see it later as well.

However when I tried it with flash it is very very visible almost like it is reflecting the light look

The thing I don't understand is when I turn off my monitor how come I can still see it? Does that mean it is dirt? If it is why the hell won't it come off?!

Here is a look with it with the monitor completly off and the flash on as you can not see it through the phone camera without flash

It might be Dirt/Dust

That is what I thought but for some reason I wiped it with toilet paper and nothing happened. I have gently ran my nail through that area and everything felt smooth

Ok, but is it normal for dead pixels to still show when you turn the monitor off

I can't see the pictures, as I'm at school. What color is the pixel? It might just be stuck.

Not sure how to describe it maybe like a grey colour
