What can be only described as a tumor on iPhone 4s Screen?

I have had an iPhone 4S that I got used. One time I turned it on to see a small, ballpoint-pen-ball size black spot on the left of the screen. It never went away… Ever. However over the last year or so the spot has grown to the around 5mm wide by 20mm high. It has been growing consistently for a very long time. Hence "tumor". Any idea what it is, and why it's happening? I'm gonna get a new screen anyway but it's kinda weird.

The screen is cracked air getting inside. It will only get worse

The screen is bad.

Since you're already planning to replace it,
you're on the right track.

  • IPhone 4s stuck on set-up screen which leads to emergency calls only screen? I haven't turned on my iPhone 4s in quite a while as I got a new one, but I'm trying to sell it and when I turn it on, it leads to the set-up screen that is a gray background that says iPhone on it, & the slider says "slide to set up" in a bunch of languages. However, when I slide it, it leads to the "emergency calls only" screen. How do I get into my iPhone?
  • EBay Item not as Described case? I'm a seller on eBay and recently sold an iPhone on eBay. However, today the buyer opened a case saying that the screws are missing from the bottom of the phone and the ear piece cover is missing. These things were shown in the photos of the listing so am I in the wrong for him not seeing this or is he? Any help please?
