Hello, I noticed one of my paintings has what looks like dried drops of sweat. Painting is almost dry. Used DMP medium in the paint. Bummer. What causes this and can I get them off? It's an oil painting on an acrylic primed and acrylic gessoed board. Thanks in advance

What clove oil did you use ?
I read somewhere long back (not here , but i guess on wetcanvas or somewhere that I cant recall right now ) that the clove oil the person used as a part of the medium was water-distilled (and not steam distilled as high quality clove oils are supposed to be ) . which caused 'patches similar to droplets '.
but someone else could chime in . I am sorry i dont remember the source I read that at but that was long back when I was trying to read up on clove oil extraction procedures .
I would recommend removing the drips. Consider using turpentine on a Q-tip to dissolve away to drips. You could also start by gently scraping with a single edged razor blade held perpendicular to the canvas surface only on the thickest parts of the drips. Scrape, do not attempt to slice or cut away the drips. Then follow up slowly and carefully with turpentine and Q-tips. A small amount of touch-up painting may be inevitable.
Oiling out is great for rendering a canvas compatible with oil paint on a brush. It needs to be a thin coat to break the surface tension. Best is to apply liberally and remove most of it with a lint free soft cloth, leaving just a sheen.

as long as the pigments are lightfast! (except PR 83 , which is one of the most notorious pigments and is also used in alizarin crimson . (not '' permanent '' alizarin crimson by WnN )
