My basement bathroom walls and door keeps growing mold on them. I scrub it off and it comes back again. The walls are painted cement block. Is there something I could install on top of block to stop the molding?

Hi ! You need better ventilation! If there is a shower in there make sure the door is left open after the shower , to let the room dry out . If you have a vent use it as well . Another thing is put a squeegee in the shower and use it on the walls and door each time you use the shower , that will help get rid of excess water. Are a decorative idea take a jar or vase and put kitty litter ( instead of sand ) in it and a candle or some shells. Change the litter each week . Litter absorbs moisture.
Good luck !
You need a vapor barrier then some green board then sheet wrock
Likely the warm moist air is condensing on the cool concrete block. Leave the door open as much as possible and try running a fan while showering as well as after.
