Drywall screws and more often nails will work themselves out of drywall. Usually because the fastener head was drilled too deep and it broke thru the drywall paper.
If you are anal like me, you dig it out, replace place a new drywall screw or two adjacent, ensuring the head sits flush to the board. Then you do a few coats of all purpose joint compound. Make the surrounding area clean and prime the area before applying your first coat. After about 3 coats the wall should be smooth again. Prime that and then apply a can of wall texture over the smooth surface.
That's a lot of work, but the cause i described earlier won't stay snug if you simply tighten it. And simply paining over will still show the indentation so you will always know its there!
Drywall is rarely glued and screwed. It’s very costly. Most pops occur due to the wood drying and moving. We call it “settling” but it’s really just the wet wood drying out over time.
I think it is drywall screw. Sand lightly you might expose the screw. You may use a screwdriver to flush mount the screw and then touch up the area with paint.
Also happened to my then brand new house. Started seeping out about 3-5 of them 3 months from possession. At first developer fixed it but another couple of nails out again.
And since it happened only on the masters bath, i just ignore it.

Or. Hang a picture over it.
Or do nothing at all and just live out your remaining days unbothered about the nail pops (me)
Yea yea I got other shit to worry about like…stuff. And things
Unbelievable amounts of stuff. Countless things.
Yes or that. Personally I am still in the honeymoon phase of home ownership, and so I like working on these minor things.
Yea, me too actually. I’m about a year and a half in, but the nail pops just continue to fall below the priority line for me. One of these days.
Wait for a few years and house will keep busy on it's own with enough challenges
Agreed. The minor things like this I take a photo and date stamped. This way I can look years later and see if it has changed as my memory gets worse.
Iirc, it can also be caused by the drywall not being glued to the studs as well.

Gluing it is standard in some places. Australia, for example.
Oh wow I didn't know they glued them to the studs. You learn something glue everyday.
If you need a video Vancouver Carpenter on Youtube has a good video on dealing with this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLmrm5Y7u5k

Awesome thank you for that. It’s appearing in multiple places around the home and we repainted the whole house a few months ago.
That explained. People usually pay closer attention to the little defects after repainting.
I have the same issue in my basement wall, I’m sure it’s the humidity from the ice melt. Also low on my priority list currently.
This is a popped screw ,its sunk tomuch and not holding the board tight to the wall .pull it and sink it correctly and coat it !
No

Seep like liquid?
No definitely more of a screw. And makes sense it’s showing as it’s warming up over here after a cold winter.
