Dealing with after effects of condensation on wall
Discussion
I have a property which has had a small condensation issue, please see picture.
Just wondering what is the best way to deal with this prior to repainting the wall, so that (a) mould doesn't reoccur (*), and (b) staining doesn't come through . Someone mentioned some kind of PVA paste before painting over it.
(* appreciate that living habits will also need to change to prevent reoccurrence.)
The wall is dry as property has been empty for a while.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice. Have got some bullseye 123 from Screwfix. Will give the affected area a good clean first, probably with specialist mould killing cleaning product, then let dry overnight.
Wall is magnolia so I'll see if there is some perma paint close to that colour.
Should I do prime the whole wall with the bullseye, it just affected area and immediate surrounding area?
Thanks
