Is a wet bathroom light in Stuart dangerous?

What if a Stuart ceiling is bulging under a bathroom?
Keep people away from that area. Wet drywall can fail suddenly, and a technician should assess safe removal and drying.

Should a Stuart homeowner paint over the stain?
Wait until the ceiling cavity is measured dry. Paint can hide damp drywall and insulation without solving the water problem.
