Scratch down middle of phone

[BigTadger]

I can't take photos at the moment as I have no other device on hand to do so. The inside screen down the crease has started to show scratches going down the centre. I wasn't worried at first but now its like it's spreading all the way up the crease and has some discolouration on some parts of the crease. I can't tell if it's the screen or the protector either. Should I be worried and go samsung shop?

Personally the first sign of anything on the crease that was not there when I purchased the phone I'd be speaking to samsung or taking it back to the samsung store.

See I've had a lot of issues with the folds hardware the paint seems to come of I've had hinge replaced as it stopped opening fully flat and new screen protector 3 times lol

Wow, that's not good. Best of look getting it sorted.

If the phone screen is scratched then it won't affect taking pictures
Use Dropbox or Google pictures to back your pictures up. Then using a pc or laptop you can still view everything you have taken.

Sounds like it's just the screen protector.
Best thing is to contact Samsung Customer Support and book a repair.
If you can't do without your phone, ask if you can visit a local Samsung Experience Store or Service Centre to get it looked at.
I'd say to do this sooner rather than later as the issue is obviously getting worse and don't want to potentially cause any further problems.
Hopefully you get it resolved soon and continue to enjoy your device
