    you can get special sealant/ damp mark/mould stopping paint that you can applyand then paint over - it smells awful but it does work - sorry i cant remember what its called - you really need to keep the bathroom more aired its the steam etc thats causing it which you probably know - have you got extracor fans and/or windows - you need to get into the habit of opening them more.
