What is the best type of paint to use in my small master bathroom?

My master bathroom collects a lot of steam during showers. Even with the fan running and the door opened afterwards, it takes forever to remove the moisture from the bathroom and the walls above the shower are beginning to mold. How do I stop this from happening?

Ventilation is the best solution for this problem there are a number of anti-fungal paints on the market but these can have a limited effect ??? but most effective is plenty of ventilation ??? maybe a larger extractor fan.

Check your fan firstly it can be disconected after that you need to scratch your old paint fill a wall and put the pva glue than some bathroom paint the best is dulux

Spray the affected areas with stain block, then paint the room with dulux emulsion for bathrooms and kitchens.

Improve extraction. This can also add to the problems of penetrating or rising damp.. Using a paint with an anti fungicide will help.
