DO NOT clean this anymore. It's the antireflective coating peeling off. You're only making it worse by trying to clean it.
There's no way of fixing this. Is that a new-ish machine?

I suggest putting a screen protector on it. May hide that so it won't bother you any further.
Installing a clear cover over screen damage is hardly "hiding" that damage.
This looks like the common screen de-lamination, along with a bit of other damage from the keycap edges.
Apple has had a service program that replaces screens with that issue. I don't know if it is still active or not.
If you can get to an Apple store, that would be a good place to check.
(I place a sheet of printer paper on the keyboard when I close the lid, which I think helps prevent the keycaps from contributing to that.)
Your MacBook Pro, less than 1 year old, certainly is in warranty. Another good reason to have a "genius" take a look..
Sometimes you get good news with a free repair.

Apple knows about this issue it used to be more widespread a few years ago, they even had repair programs for certain models. I'm quite sure they'd fix it even a few months out of warranty, but why take the chance.
You said that the machine is 11 months old, which is almost outside the 1 year Apple provided warranty. I don't know where you're from, so I'm suggesting you get it fixed soon.
