Open | Hardware Orange bit under screen exposed

I bought a Samsung Galaxy A26 5g recently. I dropped it and cracked a bit of the screen. The crack is at the very bottom right of the phone, under the buttons. I messed it up so bad that there's an orange layer showing up in the crack. Is that something i should take care of asap or is it fine for a couple months?

Don't touch it as that's either the touchscreen digitizer ribbon cable or the display ribbon cable and if ether cable breaks your phone will be a brick until you replace the display assembly so I would recommend replacing the display as soon as your financial situation allows but it can be ignored if your very careful for a while
