Varicose vein: It sounds like a varicose vein. Those are generally benign, but have your physician see it.

Buldging Vein: Bulging of the veins is a symptom that commonly occurs in different conditions, such as thrombophlebitis, pregnancy, older age, and congenitally defective valves in the veins. Varicose veins are dilated, often distorted, and swollen veins that may be painful. Varicose veins are most frequently seen in the legs. See a vascular surgeon for therapy.
