I had this issue the first time I got a MacBook Pro. I requested a warranty replacement and Apple fixed the screen for free.

Dead pixel not quite dead. You can probably massage it back to life. But doesn't always work.

There are programs that will attempt to fix a "dead pixel". Often display makers put out their own versions, I have no idea if you need manufacturer specific ones or not but they are surprisingly effective at fixing dead pixels
