Is this blistering some sort of damp ?

It is appearing on an internal wall - what is it and what can I do to sort
it out.

It looks like damp. How far up the wall is it? Does the wall have a
damp-proof course? It looks as though the damp is rising and bringing salts
with it which remain when the water evaporates (rather like the way a
stalagtite forms) and cause the plaster to come off. I imagine that you
could scrape it off with a scraper and that you'd be left with bricks with a
slightly crumbly surface. If my reasoning is correct you'd need to get a DPC
in somehow. This could be injected by either yourself or a professional
firm.

It may be, or it may be some other reaction.

What is on the other side of the wall, and what is the wall construction?
When did this first appear?
Does its appearance coincide with any rain?
What is the room used for?
