As the title says, picture in spoilers below. It's been doing it for a while, but it seems it's getting bigger/worse. The monitor is about 2 years old.
Spoiler: show
I can still see every color, but there a bunch of tiny tiny white dots that aren't dead pixels because they still display color, so I have no idea what this is all about.

Given it's in the corner and it's visible on a black backdrop, I'm a hazard a guess and say it's backlight bleeding.
As for how to fix it, no clue. Google isn't really giving much helpful advice either. As for the white pixels, those are called stuck pixels. Try gently rubbing your thumb over them and see if it helps any.

There's no way to fix those. Don't dick around with opening your monitor and following guides online.
Contact the manufacturer, tell them what you are experiencing, and they will probably do a replacement for you. One of my Sony Bravias started doing this around the corners, I called Sony, explained to them what was going on and they shipped me a brand new Bravia with a shipping label to send back mine. I'm sure it varies company by company but they like to take care of things like this to keep a good reputation for warranties.
