Afraid to take my iPhone 5 apart to clean screen

My iPhone 5 suffered water damage 6 days ago and I tried putting it in a bag of rice for 2 full nights, which helped tremendously but there are still moisture spots under the screen. Should I try more nights of placing it in rice or should I have someone take it apart for me to wipe off the screen? I don't feel comfortable doing that myself. I think I'll lose a screw or mess something up. Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I suggest heading over to ifixit.com and seeing what getting at the inside of the screen entails. If you're still convinced you want to have someone else do it, do a search on iPhone repair and shop around for a good price at a local shop. You could have it done at an Apple Store but they'd charge you through the nose.
