The lens dosen't need to be cleaned. The same thing happens with my Anser from LG, the "splash" is the light reflecting off the sides in the laser(that's what I was told ;))

Thing is it just started after i threw it in my pocket

No worries, the lens is fine. I also thought my lens was dirty when I first started seeing the "splash" and tried to rub it off with a soft cloth and nothing changed.
One thing which did help lower the amount of "splash" on mine was by storing the laser in a semi-cold environment and not using it for about 1 hour. Maybe give it a try?

Edit: Could you take a picture real quick? I just want to see if what you are describing is actually "splashing" near the dot or if it is something completely different, thanks! Don't want to give you wrong information :)

Yea, no worries. Like I mentioned previously my Anser does that too sometimes depending on the conditions. This effect of a "splash" around the dot is called bat-wings and is quite common between lasers! :)
