We moved in just shy of a year ago. In the past month these spots have been showing up- they are dry to the touch and only in our living room - on both the interior and exterior walls.

For reference the home was built in ‘92. THOUGHTS? Thanks so much!

    Are the spots in rows , like moisture causing screws or nails to rust? I am guessing at rusty fasteners because I can’t tell the scale had have seen this. If this is the case a schlack type of primer may be needed and repaint to keep the rust from bleeding through.

  • What material are the walls made out of? This also looks like a wood knot bleeding through the paint.
