Hmm, I'm not sure what kind of carrier you are talking about, but regardless, I heard vinegar gets rid of mold. But you have to let the vinegar sit on it for awhile. If you don't mind using bleach that will kill it too. As far as keeping it from returning, you need to let it dry out. Can you get your lo to teeth on anything else? Can you let the area dry out and maybe wrap a towel or wash cloth around it and let you baby suck on that instead?
