Black dot appearing in my front camera. Not on screen but on the image itself.

[hb2Od0x]

Hello everyone, 

I have a Samsung Note 20 ultra and as of yesterday my front camera has a black spit. Its not on the screen itself. It's literally on the camera like if I am on a video call the other person can see it and it's visible on my pictures. It wasn't there yesterday. I do not have a screen protector and there doesn't seem to be anything in the samara lens.... wouldn't know how something could get into the phone either since it hasn't been wet or anything. Any ideas?
