This is normal during conditions when is it cold and somewhat humid outside. The outside coil is acting like an evaporator and in near freezing outside conditions frost and ice will form from normal operation. The built -in defrost arrangement should correct it. Some are set-up on a timer. However there may be a defect if the defrost has not been working at all. Some units can be equipped with indoor thermostats with a setting to provide for manual activation of defrost.

Sounds like the defrost cycle on your unit is not working properly. You need to have a service person take a look at it.
When it frosts up, there should be a time when the unit reverses and melts the frost or ice automatically

I can think of two options:
1) Move the heat pump to a location with lower humidity.
2) Buy a second heat pump to blow hot air on the first one.
Option 2 is a joke.
