Hi,Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and reviewed query facts in context to your health concerns of mild vascular bump/ swelling on lower leg.
My Primary Impression-
Based on facts submitted, in the given scenario, You seem to suffer from-engoged pefrorator Vein in lower leg above the ankle.
The recent USA to France travel 4 days ago, without leg Stocking is the reason behind this mild Vascular swelling above ankle.
During the flight the legs which were without stockings for the Varicose Veins you have,got congested from regurgitating venous flow, which expressed by way of the engorged Perforating Vein.
In absence of any more details,I can't assess the severity of this vascular swelling above the ankle,as this swelling could be from your Old DVT with accompanied Varicose Veins.
Update if you are on blood thinners? Since how long you have Varicose Veins?
When was the first and the last DVT attack suffered by you?
