Default drywall which got wet

Due to a leaky shower stall ( since replaced) some of the nearby
drywall now has a 'puffy' look. I guess the paper coating has
expanded or sumthin'. Can I lightly sand it and paint over it? What
would you suggest? Thanks.


Depends on if you're married...


If it is spongey to the touch and the paper has seperated from the drywall ,
getting it "wet" again by painting it will make the paper bubble up and the
drywall possibly crumble...Without photos only you know how bad it is...Good
luck...
