Eye protection, mask over noise and mouth. Then spray bleach on the effected area. Make sure the showers are done for the day and the ceiling is dry. Repeat at the first showing of new mold.
I take a small bucket and add water and bleach....then I use a squeeze sponge mop....they are cheap at the Dollar Store. Make sure to cover anything underneath as the bleach will ruin colored fabric. I try to get as much wetness as I can and then I use the handle and carefully just dab the ceiling area. Let it dry and then do it again until all the mold is gone. Hope this helps.
Do the bleach wash to try to get rid of the stain, follow with vinegar to kill any mold or mildew spores that are in the area, the bleach does not really kill the spores. You may have mold above the surface but that may help a lot.
Find out the cause of the mold and fix that first.Does your bathroom have an exhaust fan? If yes,then this will be an on-going problem.If not,you may need to get the texture removed from the ceiling and repaint with an oil based high gloss paint.That may be the best thing to do all around,fan or not.Hope this helps.

Sorry, I try to get as much wetness OUT of the mop before I use it. Forgot one word and it really makes a difference.
Spraying with hydrogen peroxide will kill the mold.
