Are strap button and screw original? Has some repair been made to the screw hole that is now chemically affecting the finish?
It looks all original I bought it 3 years ago and there was no blooming played it uptil last December photographed it and put it away.
Pulled oy out yesterday and noticed the finish issue as I am looking to sell it.
Keep it somewhere drier for some time and it will probably go away. That's not much help if you're planning to sell though, and as it is you'll take a big value hit.

Have taken it out the case and hopefully it will help but have a feeling the damage has been done.
Unfortunately you’re probably right. It will take a long time to ‘self fix’, even if it does.
From a value point of view it’s still likely to be better to leave it original and damaged than attempt any sort of repair or refinish though. Originality is the critical factor in most vintage guitar prices.
