Xperia z screen not responding

Hi. I was using my phone in the shower previously today, and i was sure that all the ports were closed, and when i got out, everything seemed fine. A little later i noticed that the camera had some small waterbubbles, and a few hours later, the touch screen stopped responding. It still updates, but it doesn't register any touches. When i checked the ports, the port for charging, audio and sd card were all red. Anyone know what i can do to fix it, or do i need to send it to repair?

Open all the flaps > remove the SD and SIM cards > place your phone inside a container with rice for 24 to 48hours, perhaps instead of a container some sort of fabric to let air go through
