My touchscreen is acting up, how can I fix it?

[Windows Central Question]

My touchscreen is acting up.

For some reason, seemingly at random, my touchscreen keeps activating in the center of the screen. It is rapid and continuous and very annoying. No matter what I do it keeps activating even while I am not tapping it. I have tried wiping the screen but that doesn't help. I cannot remember when it started doing this, but I know that it started out slow and graduated to fast but annoying. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
