Hi,

I have 8 of these circles appearing on my ceiling in a perfectly straight line, does anyone know what they might be?

Thank you for such a prompt reply. Is there anything I need to do immediately? Or is it not a massive problem.

please take this to heart  
yes, immediately get a grip  
with all going on in the world cosmetic blemishes are hardly a massive problem
