Look a little closer at the can: it probably says "interior-exterior." Not only CAN you do it, but many people use this paint in high humidity areas like kitchens and baths because it resists moisture better.
You can even use oil-base paint inside, but that stuff smells REALLY foul. Plan to rent a room for the night if you do this.

It is best to use an exterior primer outside, rather than an interior. While, the interior paint will work, it does not have the same protection such as UV protection, and fungicide protection that is found in exterior paints.
Apply a coat of exterior paint over the interior paint to protect the finish and to discourage mildew growth on the paint film.

It comes in a small rectangular package and is usually sitting right in front of you at the check-out counter. There is an up-charge for it but it's minimal. The paint finish should be nothing less than eggshell, satin is better. Also, there are paints manufactured just for bathrooms (the inhibitor is already in the paint).

It's also got a unique sheen to it that is easy to clean.Do not use exterior paint! You need to get a paint that is mildew and mold and moisture resistant.
