Paint ceiling, treat, or remove?

Hi all,

I wanted to ask, does this ceiling need to be pulled down, or will some paint and perhaps something to neutralize mold do?

Thanks!!!

IF it's just on the surface it could be washed off, primed and painted. I'd be concerned about what the back side looks like.

Good point. It's been caused by a shower, so originated on the underside - hopefully it hasn't gotten through. :-)

Thank you.

Is the drywall still solid or has it gotten soft?
For peace of mind I'd remove a small portion to inspect the backside.
