Canon G12 Stuck Pixel

Hi, I just bought a new Canon G12 and brought it with me on vacation, I am new to this camera and didn't have time to really test the camera out unfortunately. I noticed a white dot in my pictures, and the spot occurs in the same location in various pictures. I tried to clean the lens with a soft cloth, but the spot is still there.

Is this a stuck pixel? How do I tell if this is a dust speck or a bad pixel?

How can I remove the white speck or mask it using post processing techniques?

I ordered this from Amazon with a rebate, and have already mailed in the rebate, so I'm not sure if I can exchange it through Amazon.

I have circled the spot in red
