You might try cleaning the mold. If the mold is really bad, I suggest
removing all of the old calk and replacing it with a calk designed to be
mold resistant. Doing just part will result in miss-matched colors and
textures and in a short time the calk you did not replace will have the same
problems and you will end up replacing it a little at a time. Do it once
right and be done with it. Don't skimp on calk quality.
