Varicose veins: It is not unusual to have small, dilated and visible veins in the back of the throat. The red bumps are probably small lymph follicles. I would not be overly concerned, but something like this requires a good exam just to be certain. See an ENT.

Can a normal sized lymph node in the neck be visible as a small bump when moving head and neck certain positions? Especially in a very thin person? Or would it more likely be a bump from a vein similar to what can be seen from the back of a hand?
