Due to a leaky shower stall ( since replaced) some of the nearby

expanded or sumthin'. Can I lightly sand it and paint over it? What
would you suggest? Thanks.

Not much can be done (satisfactorily at least) w/ drywall that has been
wet other than replace it.

I second that emotion.

Replacement isn't too terribly traumatic, depending, of course, on your
skill level and sense of adventure. Just a few tools (measuring tape,
straightedge, utility knife, hammer or screwdriving drill, drywall
finishing tools), some "mud" and you're good to go.
