Do I need to worry about swollen ankle? Varicose viens? *picture attached*

Hi all,

I have quite bad varicose viens on my one leg, the past few days I have noticed one spot on my ankle is hot to touch and there's a lump, but it's not painful. I am a bit worried as it's more swollen than usual. I went to A&E a while ago as my leg swelled up (again) and I was worried it was a DVT, they did a D dimer( i think that's what it's called, it's a blood test) test and said it wasn't, it was a superficial thing. I'm thinking it's likely the same thing but I'm a bit concered becuase anxiety!

Also excuse the state of my house/legs!
