I think that is mesh drywall joint tape showing through.

To fix it you would want to scuff up the wall area where you can see it, with fine sandpaper. Then apply joint compound, in several successively wider coats, sanding between each coat and also after the final coat. Then repaint.

  • I agree, but it looks like it's buckling in spots to me. There may be movement in the framing.
