Am I Having Blood Clot Above My Left Ankle?

Hi, For several weeks I have have been experiencing a tender, slightly knotted sore spot just above my left ankle. I suffered no injury to the area, and there is no discoloration, though the area feels like a bruise. As an individual with a family history of spider and varicose veins, both of which I manifest to some degree, particularly in both my calves, I am concerned that this lump might somehow be a blood clot. Is this worth a trip to my doctor? Thank you.
