Mold, some minor leak. What is above the ceiling ?

If you are diy, then paint few coats. My place yellowish leak mark after few coats, looks ok. If want perfect white, then add more coats. One big tub maxilite not expensive. Keep bal also have to throw later. Mix some water b4 painting but not too much. As long the painting swipe is smooth. Too thick, after dry not so nice

What you can do is to use a scraper to remove the mold as much possoble, then paint. No need anti fungal coating.

Wear a mask or face shield.
