Leaked Liquid on Galaxy S6?

Hey LTT. Just this morning I woke up to find my phone screen covered in this black and bluish something that almost completely obstructed the screen. I think the LCD screen might've leaked or something but I'm no expert on things like this (the smudges are below the top screen, and the touchscreen still works fine). Anyone have any idea what the problem is? Thanks a ton in advance!

EDIT: By the way, it was working just fine last night, and it hasn't been dropped or anything since then.

Yeah it sounds like the LCD has been damaged - best to send it in to Samsung if the warranty is still valid. If it's not then probably find a local repair shop.

I edit my posts a lot.

One of my relatives dropped his S6 Active from about 8 inches while in an OtterBox, and the same thing happened. His lost the touch ability, so I helped him unlock it by using a USB OTG adapter so we could get his pictures off before getting a replacement.

Oh yikes! Luckily my touchscreen is still working (for now at least), but I'll probably get on backing stuff up. Thank you all again!

Yeah, you should start a backup immediately. With an issue like this, you should be worried.
