Stains forming on the edge of my MacBook Pro screen

I bought my MacBook Pro 15" 2017 in June 2018 and have been working on it very well.

I have noticed over time there are stains forming on the edge of the screens. See attached pictures.

I guess it is from opening and closing the lid with my left hand. What can I doe about this?

The stains seem to be underneath the glass.

I clean my MacBook regularly. At least ones a week.

Looks like the anti-glare ( antii-reflextive) coating is starting to fail.
