You have to replace that wall board. It isn’t ever going to get any better, and pouring bleach on it is just going to ruin it worse. Contact your homeowners policy. They may fix it for you.
The only way to get rid of black mold is to replace the drywall. I had this happen to my house. I used pure bleach, gallons of it and it still kept coming back.I prepped and repainted the wall and still it came back. I called the disease control center and they told me you can’t get rid of it. The spores are still there. I got migraines from black mold. I moved out of there and the headaches stopped. Black mold can make you and your family very sick. It CAN kill you. Check in to it before any ore time goes by. Good luck to you. Call your health department for information.
There is something that is keeping it an ideal environment for the mold to grow, htat is usually a moist environment. See if you can find where the source of the moisture is coming from cause that is most likely the problem. Maybe get a fan or the area so it is constantly dry or figure out what is keeping it moist and fix it.
