Likely Normal: If you are a smoker, then it is nicotine stomatitis -- inflammation from the smoking. If non-smoker, then probably just normal anatomical presentation of blood vessels and glands. If you are concerned, see your Dentist for evaluation. Good Luck.

See your dentist: Some conditions like bumps on roof of mouth on soft palate may require further assessment and your dentist may schedule a follow-up appointment or refer you to a specialist to determine a diagnosis. See your dentist for evaluation.

Probably normal: Unless you are a smoker or abuse alcohol it's probably nothing to worry about. For peace of mind, however, why don't you make an appointment with your Dentist to have the "bumps" examined.
