Brief Answer:
Could be prominent vein

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for getting back. Your symptoms are suggestive of prominent vein. I would suggest you to once visit hospital and get ultrasound of the swelling done. It will confirm if its a vessel or not. Secondly, do mention the sonologist to comment on competency of deep veins of that leg as well. In some individuals if the veins are incompetent then even then such problem occurs. Further management will depend upon the examination results.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
