Shelley:

Two things come to mind (and I am NOT a professional)...

1.) Are there any moisture producing items (dishwashers, sinks, plumbing, etc.) above this area that could be emitting enough moisture to keep your paint from curing properly?

2.) Most paint stores or Home Depot, etc. sell a solution that can be applied to such areas to create a more stable foundation for paint or plaster to adhere.

I hope one of these suggestions point you in a direction that will help solve this problem. I know how frustrating something like this can be...

Sorry but you may have to cut out that portion of drywall and replace it with a new piece. Also, once you remove the drywall you will be able to see if there is a moisture problem inside the wall or ceiling which you will have to correct anyway.

I'm a carpenter and this is fairly straight forward stuff.
