You can run it by your doctor, it's in a bad place. You do need to be followed for this, make sure it doesn't have a more serious cause.

Treatment will depend on the cause and it is very limited.

Some people have claimed relief from CBD oil from hemp, usually applied topically. That's pure anecdata at this point. It's pretty much THC free, so you can legally mail order it if you think it's worth a try.

However, do see your doc about this.
