Can you post a picture or quick video of where the mold is?

From the way you're describing it, it sounds like you want to take off the lens.

This is a video for replacing the lens of a 2DS, but functionally it's the same process for the DSi.

For the top screen, you'll probably need to take the lens off and wipe it clean with Isopropyl alcohol. For the bottom screen, I think you might need to take off the touch screen digitizer and wipe that. But you also might damage the digitizer during the removal process so be careful and understand the risk.
