Damp Proofing

I have had salt blisters around 3 internal Walls slowly got worse over the last 10 years. Does this have anything to do with the stone / concrete skirtings that remain from when the house was built?

It could be when the property suffers from condensation the moisture is sitting on top of the skirting and slowly permeating the structure, are the walls painted or papered, also If painted is the paint breathable I/E emulsion or oil based In what rooms is this problem happening
