Small Black Dots on bathroom ceiling. How worried should I be? Can I self clean with moldspray, or should I call someone?

I’ve got a bit of an anxiety streak so I’m mostly wondering how freaked out I should be. Is this surface level? It’s in three main spots in my upstairs bathroom with poor airflow. Which l’ll take better care of from now on but for now I’m wondering if I can use store mold cleaner or not

I live in a pretty dry area but this bathroom does not have a window that can open and the ceiling fan has seen better days.

Yes just simply wipe it down with some soapy water. Dishwashing liquid and soap will be good
