I’m unsure if this will spread, and I cannot afford to replace the screen since this is a second hand one I got for $470. I’m wondering what it is and if I can still go about using it without repair until I can afford. Thank you.
iPhone 11, iOS 15
Thank you for this information. If it doesn’t get worse and I don’t replace it right away, will it harm the phone in any way if I continue to leave it as it is?

Try and restart the phone to see if the problem persists
If the problem persists try a forced restart

Hello, thank you so much for answering. I’ve forced restarted and restarted my phone quite a few times. The spot is still there. It isn’t black, so I’m assuming it’s either a stuck pixel or LCD fluid leak, it was like it when I bought the phone second hand, so I’m unsure if it will spread and damage the rest of the screen.
No one here can tell you if it will worsen or not. Knowing it was this way when you bought the phone however, indicates it won't likely go away. Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse, schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider for screen replacement options. Do NOT let an iFixit, 3rd party type service replace the screen on your phone, even if it is appreciably less expensive. They do NOT have access to authentic Apple screens and certain features may be made inoperable with an aftermarket screen. Plus Apple will not touch a device, which has been tampered with in the future.
It won't likely harm the phone. Just annoy you when you see the purple dot every time you look at your screen.
