In most cases this creates condensation and damp spots which in turn can create other issues of their own, so it’s important to treat your cold spots as soon as you notice them. You can apply a damp and stain primer to prevent any staining caused by the damp showing through on the newly decorated surfaces. Once the treated wall is dry you can then redecorate as required.

This may seem ridiculous, but it is a necessary step as the lines created by the scratching will provide an ideal key for the finishing skim coat.
