    Outlets built into a fixture or medicine cabinet are a problem, the simplest solution is to replace the circuit breaker feeding this outlet with a Ground Fault circuit breaker.

    A better solution will be to add a wall receptacle with a GFI device.

    Unless your very familiar with tools and working on wiring, and inside of a live panel, your only recourse will be to hire an electrician.
