hello
welcome to healthcare magic
dear i have read your query since you had bells palsy in august 2013 and for that you have already got the treatment. since bells palsy is facial nerve palsy and formation of bump must have form during bells palsy period and your MRI reports are also normal so, you dont have to worry for that untill it get symptomatic (painful or increase in size). it will subside of its know with due course of time.
hope you are satisfied
thank you
